 Product liability
claims arise when products, due to their design or intended use, are unsafe and
cause injury, illness or death to consumers. Suits of this nature typically seek
recovery form the manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and others who
participated in the manufacturing and distribution of defective products. The
category of products that may cause harm is extremely diverse and includes, but
is not limited to, medical devices and implants, machinery, toys, appliances,
automobiles and auto parts, drugs, sporting goods, food products and tobacco.
Charles Johnston and Ada Hammond are experienced in investigating and litigating
these complex liability cases – across the wide span of potentially dangerous
and defective products./p>

both the pain suffered by the victim, as well as the loss of income their death
represents. At Johnston & Hammond we are aware and sensitive to the financial
struggle that frequently arises from the death of a key wage earner in the
family. We work to assist clients in this situation in as timely and meaningful
a manner possible, and to obtain compensation that is commensurate with the case
and circumstances.
Claims that fall
under the category of premises liability are often known as "Slip & Fall" or
"Trip & Fall." This arises when a property owner fails to prevent or remedy
hazardous or unsafe conditions, or provide adequate security on their premises.
Other situations that may result in a premises liability claim include
construction site accidents, pool accidents, and dog bites. The firm has
experience in representing the rights and interests of individuals who have been
harmed by this type of negligence -- typically in commercial settings such as
apartment buildings or retail establishments.
