In order to determine whether you have a viable case, you will need to speak to a qualified product liability lawyer in your area. However, any lawyer will want you to save the package, medically document the... View More

I am sorry to hear about your injury. It does sound like you have a potentially viable claim against the owner of the property. A fan should not fall, typically without negligence of some kind. In fact, there is a legal doctrine called "Res Ipsa Loquitur", essentially means the thing... View More

I agree with both of my colleagues answer. In order to establish a case for negligence against the vendor of an expired drug, you would have to be able to establish that there was a causal link between the medication and the harm caused to your child.
