What Some Jury Members and Clients

"Thank you very much for all the work that you did on our behalf. I really appreciate everything that you all did, as well as your professionalism and the timely manner in which you got things done.
Also, please give our thanks to your staff who were so helpful when we had questions! If we have need of your services or if we know anyone else who does anytime in the future, we will certainly give you a call! Thank you again for everything."
"A little over two years ago I received a telephone call that all parents dread to hear. The person on the other line simply said, “Your daughter has been in an accident”. Well here I was 1500 miles away from her , trying to absorb the rest of the conversation, trying to stay focused enough to get the details. Shortly after I arrived in Texas my lovely daughter of 38 years passed away from injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident.
I won’t continue this story, however what I will say is, when things calmed down a little, I knew I must become a voice for my daughter. Though a chain of events our family was introduced to the Ammons Law Firm of Houston, Texas.
From the first initial contact with Mr. Robert Ammons and his staff, I hung up the telephone feeling as if I and my family were in good hands. We had constant contact from Ohio to Texas via the telephone and the computer for two years. The staff made all the arrangements anytime I had to fly to Texas and made sure I had comfortable accommodations while I was there.
My family and I were kept abreast of the progress for our case on a regular basis. Anytime I had any questions, the staff was polite, informative, and punctual with the answers.
I am very satisfied with the level of concern and commitment Mr. Ammons and his staff displayed from the beginning to the conclusion of our association.
I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone who might be seeking one.
Thank You Mr. Ammons and your staff."
This was my first case to be on a jury. I really connected to the attorneys and the family."
Bennett cares for the well being of my children and me, and is truly sincere. During the two years of my lawsuit and throughout the trial, Bennett was there to answer any questions or concerns I had. I am grateful for all of his hard work, advice, and support.
The Ammons Law Firm believed in my late husband and what I was fighting for. They brought out the truth, and brought justice to his name. The friendships that were made with the attorneys of the Ammons Law Firm will be life long. I could not have done this without them."
-Candee P., Former client

-Christopher R., Former Client
"Thank you for everything, this [incident] has been the worst thing that can ever happen to anyone. But thank God we have a great support system. Again thank you sooo much from the bottom of our hearts."

Consumers are at their most vulnerable when they trust in the safety of the products on store shelves. Yet, every single day people are injured and killed when product designers, manufacturers and sellers across many industries focus on profit and stock price at the expense of product safety. At the Ammons Law Firm in Houston, TX, our team of product defect lawyers and staff have succesfully pursued many cases against negligent companies to fairly compensate those who have suffered because of their defective products.
Chrysler is recalling nearly 300,000 Dodge and Chrysler minivans over risks that airbags may unexpectedly deploy.
The "vehicles in this recall are the same ones involved in an earlier recall to replace a heating and cooling system drain grommet, the automaker, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, said in a document posted today on the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
" The minivans, which include the Voyager, are 2008 year models and "because of the earlier defect, moisture may have leaked into the air-bag controls," Chrysler said.
The Chicago Tribune reported in its "Kicking Tires" blog
that the leak "may cause the airbag warning light to illuminate and
deploy the airbag inadvertently." It added that "the recall is expected
to begin this month."
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Unless otherwise indicated, discontinue use of the products immediately. For more information about the products, call the manufacturer or CPSC's toll-free hotline, 800-638-2772.
Product • Circo Child Booster Seats, sold at Target stores nationwide from January 2005 through June 2009 for about $13.
Problem • The booster's seat restraint buckle can open unexpectedly, allowing a child to fall from the chair. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled booster seats
The AP reports, "Ford Motor Co. recalled nearly 365,000 F-150 pickup trucks in North America on Thursday to fix a problem with the interior door handles that could lead to the doors opening in a crash." The recall covers "about 280,000 F-150s in the US from the 2009 and 2010 model years built from Jan. 18, 2008, through Nov. 30, 2009." NHTSA "said on its website that a spring in the interior door handle could break, causing the door to fail to latch properly. If the truck was struck by another vehicle on the side, the government said the door latch could open."
The Wall Street Journal says that the repair will involve reinforcing the spring or replacing the entire handle module. Reuters reports no accidents or injuries involving the defect had been reported either to Ford or NHTSA.

In 2009, for instance, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture was involved in 59 recalls in which the amount of food sought and recovered was known, 56 came up short of the amount they identified as potentially tainted or produced at a time when factory controls were lax.
Two of those efforts highlight how far short recalls can fall. Last July 2010, a Denver processor announced a recall of more than 460,000 pounds of ground beef tied to a salmonella outbreak but recovered only 119,000 pounds. In October a New York processor announced a recall of 545,000 pounds of ground beef tied to an outbreak of E. coli; it recovered 795 pounds, according to the USDA.
Because recalls are described as voluntary, some experts say the owners of supermarkets, especially smaller stores, can mistakenly believe it is acceptable to leave recalled products on the shelves.
And while the federal government publishes notices about recalls, it depends on the news media, manufacturers and retailers to spread the news. Many consumers are unaware a product has been recalled.
Some supermarkets and big-box stores, such as Costco, use the information they have compiled about customers to notify shoppers who have purchased recalled products, in some instances even telephoning them to warn them about potentially tainted food.
But others do not, which food safety and consumer advocates find frustrating.
"The companies take your information for marketing, but they won't contact you in a recall," said Donna Rosenbaum of the food safety group Safe Tables Our Priority, or STOP. "As far as I'm concerned, that's just wrong to market to consumers - to use all that information for profit - but not to then protect their health."
A spokesman for Jewel-Osco's corporate parent said relying on the media, posting shelf notices and making sure store employees are prepared to answer customers' questions all have worked with recalls in the past.

A fitting remedy for upfitted trucks
Companies that ‘upfit’ truck bodies for specific functions such as utility work should make engineering and design modifications rooted in safety. When they haven’t, here’s how to prove their negligence.
