Court Allows Trial on Ford Windstar Explosion Destroying Client's Home

On October 30, 2017, in Ford v. Ford Motor Company (District of NJ, 1:15-cv-357), Judge Noel Hillman of the District of New Jersey rejected Defendant's motions and allowed Plaintiffs' claims to proceed to trial. Our clients filed suit because their 2000 Ford Windstar was sitting idle in their garage when it unexpectedly caught fire. Our clients had simply been sitting in their living room watching television when their world exploded. The fire eventually burned down their home of many years, even forcing them to have to live in a trailer for a time.
We have alleged that the fire occurred because Ford Motor Company negligently designed or manufactured its Windstar van to allow contaminants inside through a faulty sealer. These contaminants would corrupt the inner wiring, setting the stage for spontaneous electrical fires. Ford Motor Company sought to strike our client's expert and blame the fire on something else in the garage. The Court properly denied Ford Motor Company's pre-trial motions. Our clients will now get their day in court for the loss of their home.
Locks Law Firm has been pursuing cases on behalf of victims against makers of defective products for over fifty years. The statute of limitations for these claims can differ depending on where you live, so it is important to contact an attorney as soon as you know that you have a claim.
The motion can be viewed here: Ford v. Ford - Summary Judgment Denied.

Recovering Damages for a Serious Burn Injury

Anyone who has experienced a burn, even a minor one like a burn to the tongue from hot coffee, knows how painful it can be. Fortunately, most minor burns, despite the discomfort, heel quickly. However, a more serious burn can be a devastating injury, resulting in hospitalization, surgery, painful procedures, and leaving unsightly and sometimes permanent scarring. The pain associated with some burns can be unbearable requiring the use of painkillers for extended periods, which of course can result in its own side effects, including the risk of addiction to opioids.

Republican Controlled Congress Kills Rule on Class Action Suits Against Financial Institutions

Late last night (October 24, 2017) the Republican controlled Senate narrowly voted to abolish the banking rule that permitted consumers to join class action lawsuits against banks and other financial institutions to resolve disputes.  By a narrow 51-50 vote with Vice President Pence casting the tie breaking vote, the Senate joined the Republican held House in voiding the July 2017 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Rule that barred financial institutions from using mandatory arbitration clauses to deny groups of aggrieved consumers their day in court.  It is expected that President Trump will quickly sign the measure.

Riding Mower Lawn Tractor Rollover Hazards (Part I)

Riding mower lawn tractor rollovers have been a problem ever since riding mowers have been in existence.  As early as 1970, studies began to be published indicating that they were the most frequent kind of accidents associated with these machines.  By 1980, the Consumer Product Safety Commission began keeping statistics of persons taken to emergency rooms because of rollovers of these machines. By 2003, their statistics showed that in excess of 54,000 people had been taken to emergency rooms because of riding mower rollover injuries. It is undisputed that when these machines roll over the operator can be pinned and killed.
