Defective Products

Manufacturers and distributors have a legal responsibility. They must make certain that their products, when used properly will not harm the customer. Importantly, this responsibility is not limited to manufacturers. It applies to the designers and retailers as well as anyone else who was involved with the sale.

This is a specific area of law with different rules and regulations than a typical negligence claim. It is important that you obtain an attorney who is knowledgeable in this area. I can give the personal attention to each claim so that every recovery will be maximized.

Categories of Defects:

Product Defects can be placed in three categories.

  1. Design defects: A design defect indicates that a flaw in the planning of the product was hazardous regardless of how it is manufactured.
  2. Manufacturing errors: When a problem or mistake takes place during the actual production phase of a product, prior to its distribution, it has a manufacturing defect.
  3. Marketing misrepresentation: Marketing misrepresentations occur when a company does not provide adequate warnings or instructions on their products which lead to injuries.

Statutes of limitation may apply and can vary by state, so it is best to talk with a qualified attorney soon after an injury to determine if you have a valid claim.

There is no charge for an initial consultation. You owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
