The U.S. legal system allows individuals to file lawsuits against others for harm done unto them. However, the U.S. legal system is complicated. When a case is emotionally charged, it is difficult if not impossible to deliver an objective and persuasive argument to a jury. This is why even lawyers rarely represent themselves. When Fisher-Price Rock n’ Play Sleeper defective product lawsuits are filed, the manufacturer can be counted on to have not one but a team of experienced and highly paid attorneys representing them. Plaintiffs who do not have a legal education and the necessary skill level to combat the defendant’s legal team are almost guaranteed to lose in court and are unlikely to walk away with a settlement, either.

 

If you have lost your child or your child has been injured, please seek necessary legal guidance before committing to a plan of action.
