When you use CaseSolo Connect, participating attorneys are matched for your state.
Should I keep the product that injured me?
Yes, if you safely can. The product itself is often the single most important piece of evidence. Don’t return it, repair it, or throw it away before an attorney evaluates your situation.
The product was recalled after I was hurt. Does that help?
A recall can be relevant evidence, though it does not by itself decide a claim. An attorney can evaluate how the recall relates to your injury.
I didn’t buy the product myself. Can I still have a claim?
Possibly, in many states, injured users and even bystanders may bring product claims, not just purchasers. An attorney can evaluate your standing.

Nothing. CaseSolo Connect is free for people looking for a lawyer. Participating attorneys pay us for advertising, which is why this site is attorney advertising. Whether and how you would pay an attorney is between you and any attorney you choose to hire.
