Product Liability
Do you think you have a case for product liability? Did you know that if you wait to long to file your claim, you will be forever barred from filing in the future. If you or someone you know has been injured as a result of a dangerous and defective product, you must take steps immediately to obtain possession of the dangerous product to protect it and preserve it so that it can be inspected for defects. You should contact an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your rights are protected.
Consumers have the right to expect that the products they purchase on a day to day basis are safe for use or consumption. When a product seriously injures or kills innocent victims due to a defect, a product liability lawyer will file a claim on behalf of the injured party to ensure they receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, repairs, pain and suffering. Product liability cases can have many complex issues and can involve manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products available to the public. It takes an experienced product liability attorney to prove that the product was defective; that the plaintiff used the product in a reasonable manner; and that the defect caused the Plaintiff’s injuries.
Product liability cases can involve a wide spectrum of products, including but not limited to:
- Defective cars and car parts, including faulty seat belts, brakes, air bags, and tires – Manufacturers of individual components can be just as liable as the maker of the vehicle if their product played a role in an injury.
- Dangerous toys, including toys with lead paint and small magnetic pieces
- Faulty electrical products
- Malfunctioning elevators and escalators
- Defective household appliances, tools and machinery
- Defective medical devices, such as pacemakers
- Dangerous prescription drugs, cough and cold medications, and dietary supplements – failure by the manufacturer to inform the public and government officials of unacceptable and dangerous side effects or not adequately tested or monitored their products before placing them in the stream of commerce
- Food – improper labeling, including the failure to mention allergy risks from foods containing nuts or dairy products
