You have to seek it yourself. The Arkansas lawyers at Law Offices of Gary Green can help.Is Your Vehicle Safe?

If one happens and your car rolls over, though, a collapsed roof can dramatically increase the odds of serious injury or death. In addition to crushing you, a collapsed roof can cause the glass to break, and you can be ejected from the car.Take Action Now

Law Offices of Gary Green is currently handling a case involving a homeowner and his pull-down attic ladder. The main problems with the ladder at issue are that: 1) A metal support rod that is supposed to run beneath each wooden step cannot be accommodated under one or more of the wooden steps due to positioning of the hand-rails on the outside of the ladder, thus leaving the strength of one or more of the wooden steps insufficient; and 2) The nails that are used to connect the unsupported wooden steps to the outside of the ladder frame are too small and light to support the use of the steps rated for 250 pounds.
If you have been seriously injured by this or any other pull-down attic ladder because of poor manufacturing, please contact us 888-442-7947 or send us an e-mail at

Remington Arms Company has recently come under fire yet again for the alleged defective trigger mechanism used in the Remington 700 bolt-action rifle. This defect can cause the gun to fire without ever touching the trigger. The Remington 700 is widely used by both law enforcement and hunters.
In Montana in 2000, a woman was unloading her gun with the barrel pointed towards an empty horse trailer. The gun fired and the bullet went through the trailer’s wall, striking and killing her son.
The "Walker Fire Control System", patented by Merle H. Walker and Philip R. Haskell on July 11, 1950, utilizes an internal component called a connector. The connector floats on top of the trigger body inside the gun. However, and more importantly, it is not physically bound to the trigger in any way other than tension from a spring. The trigger connector can be pushed out of alignment by debris or even when bumped or jolted.
A review of U.S. Patent Number 2,514,981, indicates the issues detailed above were known at the time the application was filed:
". . . should the trigger be operated while the safety is engaged, the trigger and sear springs will immediately reposition the mechanism to catch the firing pin upon release of the safety.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a sear and control therefor which operate on barely perceptible movement of the trigger, yet releases the firing pin instantly and completely".
In 2007, Remington released the X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism. This mechanism is only installed in some of Remington’s bolt-action rifles.
A lawsuit filed in the Western District of Arkansas alleges that Remington has known about the defect for 60 years, has received in excess of 4,000 documented complaints and has paid over 20 million in settlements since 1993.
As the cold of winter sets in, our daily routines change from outside activities to inside activities. When our families come inside, we unknowingly use our electrical products in the house more than we otherwise would. Children play games, we watch TV more and otherwise seek and find entertainment from electrical appliances. As the electrical usage in our homes rise, we unknowingly tax the electrical systems and electrical products in our homes. And when anything is used to its maximum potential, its weaknesses are exposed.
Many people are injured or killed in house fires every year. The causes of these fires can range from cigarette smoking to candles to faulty electrical systems to faulty appliances. When there is a fire, it is important to immediately get a private cause and origin investigator on the scene to perform an independent analysis of the cause of the fire. This is especially important as most local fire departments do not have the resources or equipment to truly discern the cause and origin of a fire. Many times, because of their limited resources, the fire department officials are incorrect in their conclusions about the cause of fires.
It is also important that the area that was burned not be disturbed by any persons. Do not take anything from the area. Allow the professionals to do this. The mere location of an electrical appliance after a fire can provide valuable clues to assist investigators in determining the cause of a fire.
If it is determined that a faulty electrical system or product caused the fire, you may have a cause of action against the manufacturer or the product, the wiring system or the builder of the home.
At Law Offices of Gary Green, we have successfully handled many fire cases. We have a team of reliable experts that will quickly go to the fire scene and perform an investigation to determine the cause of the fire. If you or a loved one is the victim of a house fire, call us at Law Office of Gary Green.
