Handling Ford Fire Recall Cases Nationwide
We are hard at work on Ford cruise control recall fire cases that are ongoing in approximately 40 states. Attorney Bradley Leger has been consulted by numerous mainstream media sources on this issue. He was quoted by the New York Times regarding a defective cruise control switch death case, he was interviewed by CNN and the Detroit News, and he has appeared on Channel 2 (KPRC) and Channel 11 (KHOU) in Houston, Texas. He is also a member of the Texas Ford Fire MDL Plaintiffs Steering Committee.
Our Clients Relied on Ford, and Ford's Negligence Caused Them Harm
Our clients are trusting consumers who relied on the Ford name to keep them safe. They became unsuspecting victims of devastation caused by electrical fires originating in cruise control switches of Ford SUVs parked in their garages. Leger Adkins, LLP has become a law firm of choice to handle these complex cases, in part because of our in-depth understanding of how Ford Motor Company works to suppress legitimate injury claims. We will not relent in our efforts to help victims and victims' families recover full, fair compensation for injuries and losses caused by Ford’s cruise control defects.
