A Defective Product Could Have Hurt You

The Attorneys of Merck Law, LLC are skilled at identifying contributing factors to the incident. This makes it important to call a defective product attorney as soon as possible to discuss the specific facts of your case. Product companies make money each year from their products. Are you experiencing problems with your product that have hurt you? The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) can recall a product that you already own. The CPSC will recall a device to make a correction to the device or to remove the device from being used or sold. A recall usually indicates some risk from using the device or a known defect in the device. Manufacturers can also recall a device voluntarily. Recalls have different severities. Contact us for a free consultation if you feel you have been harmed by a defective product.

I’ve been consistently impressed with the professionalism and integrity of Merck Law. The team treats every client with respect and truly takes the time to guide them through what can be a stressful process. They communicate clearly, work hard, and genuinely care about helping people reach fair outcomes. It’s great to see a local firm that combines experience with genuine compassion.
Merck Law was amazing to work with after my car accident near Atlanta. Austin and his team took the time to explain everything, handled the insurance company for me, and made the whole process so much less stressful. I always felt informed and supported. If you need a personal injury lawyer in Atlanta area, I can’t recommend Merck Law enough!
I highly recommend Attorney Merk Smith. He offered realistic, straightforward guidance while still being incredibly compassionate. He answered all of my questions clearly and helped me feel calm and confident before my court appearance. I’m grateful for his time and expertise!
I had a terrible car accident earlier this year and I was payed out within a couple of months. It was a pleasure working with Tamara. Merck Law is very professional and I am very impressed with the service they provided for me. I would definitely recommend working with Merck Law!
I am very grateful to Austin and Tamara for their work on my case. They made sure I received proper medical care and treatment and ensured that I received a fair settlement. Tamara was very good at providing me with updates and answering any questions or concerns that I had. It took a huge weight off of me to know that I had good people fighting for me when I was unable to. I pray I don't need them again but if I do I will be back. Thank you so much Tamara and Austin!!
Mr. Smith was so helpful! I’m attempting to represent myself in a case and he took his time to explain everything I needed. He also walked me through every step and also proof read my documents. I’m forever grateful for his kindness and patience because I ask a lot of questions!
Merck has helped me with various legal issues for years. Very professional, easy to work with, and excellent results. Highly recommended.
Austin is the best personal injury attorney in Atlanta! He was responsive, professional, and fought hard for my case. Highly recommend him if you need a dedicated car accident lawyer.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia? 

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia? A statute of limitations is a law that creates a strict time limit on an injured person's right to file a lawsuit in civil court. When an injured person misses the statute of limitations, the defendant can use the statute of limitations as a defense against the suit. Rare exceptions do apply to extend the filing deadlines. Every case is different and every state has its own statute of limitations. It is important to contact an attorney in the jurisdiction in question for legal advice as to the statute of limitations in your state.
