A product is unreasonably dangerous because of a manufacturing defect if it is different from its intended design and fails to perform as safety as the intended design would have performed.

Attorney Micah Longo of the Davie law firm The Longo Firm says, “when you’re in a car accident the physical forces do a number on your body. A common injury is a herniated disc which is a condition where the jelly like substances found inside the disc rupture, putting pressure on a nerve, causing pain and numbness.

Attorney Micah Longo of the Davie law firm The Longo Firm says, “the first stage of a civil litigation case is the pleading stage. Here the Plaintiff files a complaint which outlines the facts to support a particular cause of action. The Defendant then has an opportunity to respond by admitting or denying the allegations in the Complaint. The Defendant also has an opportunity to assert “affirmative defenses.” The next stage of a civil litigation case is discovery.

Now, the insurance company will try to sell you that canceling is a bad idea because they want to keep you as a customer. Don’t fall for their trap!
