Own an LG PTAC Air Conditioning Unit?
Miami Class Action Attorneys Filing Nationwide LG PTAC Lawsuit Against Defective AC Unit Manufacturer
Over 1,000 hoteliers and property owners are joining a putative class action lawsuit against the nationwide air conditioning manufacturer LG. We believe the company has sold defective AC PTAC units that have caused fires, resulting in extreme structural damage to property and individuals. At the American consumer’s expense, LG continues making defective products while raking in a fortune from business owners and individuals that expect a working and safe product.
How Unsafe is the LG Defective Air Conditioner?
In Texas, a fire allegedly caused by one of these defective AC units resulted in the death of a young boy. Just one state over in Louisiana, a man staying at a Comfort Inn was able to elude a fire caused by the AC unit in his room.
As you can see, an overheating fan motor is an extremely dangerous defect. Besides causing fires, units are releasing smoke or shutting down. Business owners who purchased a number of these units are not only out at least a few thousand dollars to replace the machines, but these defective AC units put their property in harm’s way and put people’s lives at risk of serious injury and death.
Our firm’s business attorneys are experienced in helping property owners in class action lawsuits, such as the well-known case for the BP oil spill. We are also equipped to handle complex insurance property damage and product liability cases, which could arise from a defective AC unit.
Why Owners Need Representation from a Florida Business Attorney
Smoke, water damage and other losses associated with a hotel or motel fire could cost a business hundreds of thousands of dollars in repair costs, as well as a damaged reputation in the eyes of both locals and visitors. While the fault belongs with LG, the fire will often be associated with the lodging establishment, wreaking havoc on their reputation and goodwill.
The fact that hundreds of hoteliers and property owners have had a dangerous issue with the same AC unit means there is definitely a problem. If an LG PTAC or HVAC unit has stopped working as advertised, then this known manufacturing defect is likely the problem.
Class Action Attorneys Protecting Businesses and Individuals
It is not too late to join this putative class action lawsuit. If you own a lodging business, nursing home, apartment complex or other commercial property, or if you are a homeowner who purchased this unit, then you may be eligible for financial relief for this gross negligence by LG. You may be eligible even if you no longer have the air conditioning unit.
In addition to structural damage, people injured by fire or smoke could seek damages for medical expenses, disfigurement, disability, emotional stress, lost wages, pain and suffering and loss of quality of life.
LG must be held accountable for its defective product causing harm to innocent people and businesses, and we are qualified to handle class action cases. Contact our Miami class action attorneys for a free consultation. There is strength in numbers. Join the class action suit today.
