Q: Hi , my fiancee had an Apple watch for about 10 months. Last week it overheated and burned her pretty bad on her arm.
We spoke to Apple and they claimed it was an allergic reaction and not their fault. Do we have any recourse for this or our we wasting our time.
A: Contact a personal injury attorney that does product liability. It might be possible for her to recover; however, it's best to speak with a lawyer (and usually to hire them if you want the best outcome). Most personal injury lawyers get paid only if you receive a settlement; you don't pay them up front.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A:
It's possible you have a recourse. It all depends on the level of injury. If you choose to meet with an attorney to evaluate the case, they would gather all records of any medical treatment, from ER visit to follow-up doctor's visits. Those would be used to support your claim. Good luck
