Upon winning case, you are entitled to compensatory damages such as your medical bills incurred as a result of product defect, reimbursement for any time lost from work, and property damaged as a result of defective product. You are also entitled to damages for pain and suffering you experienced as a result of your injury. If you are married and injury has affected relationship with your spouse, you may be entitled to loss of consortium damages. Your spouse may also be able to recover these damages, even if he or she was not directly injured by product.

Indeed, to avail service of a competent counsel is best way to protect your interests if you have been injured by a defective product. So, if you or your loved ones have been injured because of what you believe is a product defect, you should consult a defective product lawyer at earliest opportunity to protect you right of recovery. Through an attorney, you’re assured that a thorough search will be performed to locate and then sue all proper parties if a lawsuit seems justified.

Truly, this is terrible! Giving away a little of your trust to these people to simply do little repairs in your homes will later cost you a lot. The worst thing – you’ll not even get right service that you deserve. A big headache, really…

Know what, not all contractors operate within law. I have here are some tip-offs to potential rip-offs. A less than reputable contractor solicits door-to-door, offers you discounts for finding other customers, just happens to have materials left over from a previous job, only accepts cash payments, asks you to get required building permits, does not list a business number in local telephone directory, tells you your job will be a "demonstration", pressures you for an immediate decision, offers exceptionally long guarantees, asks you to pay for entire job up-front, and suggests that you borrow money from a lender contractor knows.

After reading this article, I just hope that nobody else will become a victim of these contractor scams. Let us all be careful even with small things – such as these home repair stuff – we engage with.
