What Is Products Liability?
Products liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors and sellers for injuries caused by defective products. These cases arise when a product is unreasonably dangerous. This could be due to a design flaw, a manufacturing defect or inadequate warnings. A range of products can cause injuries, including:
- Sports equipment
- Motor vehicles
- Children’s toys
- Medications and medical devices
- Contaminated food
To succeed in a products liability case, you must prove the product was defective, the defect caused your injury and you suffered damages. Our product liability attorneys have the experience to gather evidence, build a strong personal injury case and demonstrate these elements effectively.
Handling Severe Injuries From Defective Products
Defective products can lead to a range of serious injuries. These are often life-altering and may require extensive medical treatment. Common injuries include:
- Burns from faulty electronics
- Broken bones from defective machinery
- Poisoning from contaminated food or drugs
- Lacerations from sharp edges or broken parts
- Choking injuries from ingesting parts of a product
Compensation for these injuries can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Having a skilled attorney is crucial to securing the compensation you need to recover and move forward.
