Personal injuries not only cause physical pain, but often emotional and financial hardship through loss of work, medical bills, and stress placed upon families and loved ones. We often take our physical and mental well being for granted-until something goes wrong. Our attorneys assume the responsibility for providing effective, aggressive investigation and representation, thereby allowing our injured clients to attend to personal matters in the hopes of moving on.

Motor Vehicle Accidents - While motor vehicle accidents comprise a significant portion of personal injury and wrongful death claims, it would be wrong to think that they are always simple to resolve. We understand not just the "rules of the road" and the special duties imposed on commercial and public carriers, but also the complex scientific and engineering principles often necessary to unravel just how an accident occurred and who, if anyone, was at fault. We handle accident cases involving:

Rear end collisions Intersection accidents Alcohol related crashes Hit and run Passenger injuries Driver injuries Motorcycle accidents Semi-truck and tractor trailer crashes Pedestrian accidents Bicycle accidents

Whatever the practical or legal issues that arise out of a car accident, the lawyers at Levine, Busch & Schnepper are prepared to address them in order to meet and exceed client objectives and goals.

Products Liability - Every year, thousands of consumers sustain serious injuries from defective products. Many of these injuries could be avoided if the manufacturers or distributors of these products took additional steps to ensure consumer safety. The main incentive to increase product safety is to avoid potential liability in product liability lawsuits, which provide compensation for the personal injuries sustained from the use of a defective product. If you have suffered injuries due to a defective product you may be able to file a claim against the manufacturer to recover damages. You do not necessarily have to prove that the manufacturer was negligent. Product liability claims, often called strict product liability can be established if you are able to prove three things:

(1) The product was defective; (2) The defect existed prior to the manufacturer releasing the product; and (3) The defect caused your damages.

Manufacturers and their marketers must label the product in such a way as to warn of all dangers associated with its use. They must specifically state how that product should be used and warn you of the hazards.

The lawyers at Levine, Busch, Schnepper & Stein are experienced product liability lawyers, committed to informing the public of all dangerous products and product recalls. Our mission in pursuing product liability cases is to obtain just compensation for our injured clients and to create an economic incentive for those in the stream of commerce to produce safe products and provide sufficient warning of the dangers of their products, ultimately resulting in the saving of lives. The damages the consumer is entitled to receive in a dangerous or defective product case include compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Loss of physical capacity
• Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
• Punitive damages

Whether dealing with a manufacturing flaw or defect, a design flaw or defect, or where a product is unreasonably dangerous because of inadequate instructions or warnings, we ensure that injured consumers or the family and heirs of deceased consumers receive fair treatment under the law for injuries caused by dangerous and defective products.
