This Philly Lawyer is all about defective trailers

Light House hunting-island.jpgThis lawyer's website info looks all about errant and defective trailers that cause personal injury. If you are in Iowa I’m happy to help but when in Philly this looks like a pretty good lawyer to interview as a possible candidate to be your lawyer. Here is his email to me. Good luck.

The Minimal or Non-Regulation of the Trailer Industry and Trailer Towing Requires a Complete Overhaul in Pennsylvania and Many Other States

Seemingly, the trailer industry continues to manufacture products and couplers that are devoid of federal regulation and the regulation of many states including Pennsylvania. I have noticed on my blog repeatedly that for every trailer that is manufactured under a 3,000 pound threshold there are no minimum regulatory safety or manufacturing requirements. In fact, anyone can build one, anyone can drive one and anyone can take one home in ten minutes with very little or no training.

There is another gentleman by the name of Ron Melacon who has been a consumer crusader for many years and I urge you to go to his website at www.dangeroustrailers.org for more information on this pressing issue.

As one drives down our streets and highways, we often see trailers swaying in a dangerous fashion and yet local, state, and federal governments have done very little to regulate or enforce rules regulating the thousands of trailers that are hitched to vehicles that travel on our roadways on any given day. Many of these trailers are built in an improper manner creating a situation of extreme danger for otherwise unsuspecting travelers on our roadways. In the past five years, more than 123,000 individuals have sustained injuries as a result of defective trailers and trailer hitches. Additionally, there have been in excess of 342,000 damage related claims as a result of trailers that have been jettisoned or unhitched due to defective coupling devices or as a result of defectively constructed trailers.

The Philadelphia defective trailer and defective product law firm of Reiff and Bily urges the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the other states of this great country to pay more heed to the extraordinarily dangerous trailer and trailer hitch designs and to require additional safety devices and controls to reinforce the attachment of trailers to vehicles.

The defective trailer design lawyers at the Pennsylvania defective trailer and catastrophic injury law firm of Reiff and Bily have extensive experience representing victims injured as a result of defective trailer and defective trailer coupling devices.

If you or a family member has suffered an injury resulting from the defective manufacture or coupling of a trailer to a vehicle, please contact the defective trailer lawyers at Reiff and Bily. Our aggressive legal team of investigators and experts will offer a free consultation and bring the wrongdoers to justice to achieve the best results for you and your family.
