If you have contacted attorneys handling such cases, they would review diversity, if diversity (28 U.S.C. 1332) is the basis for jurisdiction and the matter is in federal court - which may be the case if the product involves multi-district...

At your age you may wish to consider that having hair loss from whatever origin is unusual and you may want to consult an M.D. expert. Do not say you are interested in a case. Doctors don't like to be involved and you need a good diagnosis.

An experts opinion that this was the reason and the only reason would be needed. You would likely want to speak with a doctor anyway. Don't say you are interested in a claim or the doctor will clam up--they are worried about being "dragged into a legal case."

It's difficult to say. I think it unlikely that the fact that the fork was translucent will support a viable cause of action. There may have been other issues in the manufacturing process whereby the fork was not as sturdy as it should be. It could also be a QA issue. For a clearer answer... View More

You need to find a couple of experienced mechanics to give you expert opinions as to there has been any foul play. Let them put their opinions in writing. After that, you can bring it to a commercial litigation attorney for a consultation as to whether it pays to sue them.

If you had comprehensive it should have covered. Get the policy, read the language.

You can only recover if an expert says it was due to a manufacturing defect. If it is relatively new that is easier than if it was bought used.
