Stutman Law was assigned to investigate a fire scene at a medical office near Philadelphia within hours of a fire occurring in early 2024. The prompt referral allowed our New Loss team to retain a skilled expert to preserve critical evidence and investigate the fire while the scene was still fresh. Our expert concluded that the fire was caused by a lithium-ion battery associated with a Purezone Mini Air Purifier stored in the office’s basement, which had been purchased from Amazon by an employee of the medical office. Our New Loss team notified Amazon and the air purifier’s manufacturer that the product had catastrophically failed, resulting in over $300,000.00 in damages. After months of negotiations, we were able to secure a settlement of over $276,000.00, nearly 90% of our client’s damages, without incurring the significant expenses that would have been required to litigate a product liability action.
