DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

Get Your Life Back

 

When a product contains a defect that causes harm to the consumer of the product, to someone to whom the product was loaned, given, etc., the law requires the manufacturer, wholesaler and/or retailer to bear the losses. A defect could be in the design, could occur during the manufacture of the item, or could be due to improper instructions or failure to warn.

It happens more often than you might think.

Almost thirty million injuries and over 20,000 deaths are caused each year by defective or unsafe products including such everyday items as;

  • pharmaceutical pills,
  • hair dryers,
  • toasters,
  • baby chairs, 
  • air conditioners,
  • toys,
  • lighters,
  • automobiles,
  • machinery,
  • and hand tools.

What you should do to protect your rights:

  • In product liability cases, the product itself is the most important evidence.
  • The product should be stored in a secure location and kept in your custody if possible.
  • As soon as possible after the accident,
    • take good, clear pictures (from different angles) of not only the product, but the damage(s) as well.
    • It may be necessary for engineers and other expert witnesses to thoroughly evaluate your product.
    • Do not let anyone take these products from you without first consulting with us.

Contact Us if you have been injured. It is important that you act promptly as certain statutes of limitations apply and you can lose your rights to be compensated.

The initial review of your case and the consultation is free. We look forward to working with you and we know you will be pleased with our services.
