Understanding Product Liability

Product liability laws hold manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for injuries caused by defective products. These laws are designed to protect consumers from harm and ensure that responsible parties are held liable for their negligence or misconduct. There are generally three types of product defects that can lead to liability claims: design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn defects.

Design defects occur when there are flaws in the product's initial design, making it inherently dangerous even when manufactured as intended. Manufacturing defects, on the other hand, occur during the production process, resulting in a product that deviates from its intended design and becomes unsafe. Failure to warn defects happen when manufacturers fail to provide adequate instructions or warnings about potential risks associated with the product's use.

What Should I Do If I've Been Injured by a Defective Product?

If you've sustained injuries from a defective product, your immediate priority should be your health and safety. Seek medical attention promptly to assess and treat your injuries. It's essential to keep all records of medical treatment and documentation of the incident, including the defective product itself if possible. Preserving evidence such as receipts, packaging, and any communication with the manufacturer or retailer can significantly strengthen your case.

After securing your health, it's crucial to consult with a qualified product liability lawyer like those at Adler Law Group, LLC Attorneys at Law. Our team will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding your injury, identifying potential liable parties and gathering evidence to support your claim.

Pursuing A Defective Product Claim

A successful products liability case requires establishing negligence on the part of the product manufacturer. Our firm approaches every case with the goal of making the strongest claim possible by gathering all the facts and looking for any evidence that a product manufacturer knew — or should have known — of defects.

The sudden expenses that arise from an injury — medical bills, missed work, rehabilitation — can be overwhelming. We work to help our clients recover compensation for these costs. Compensation can cover:

• Medical expenses
• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional pain and suffering
• Lost wages

In the event that injuries from a defective product result in death, we may be able to assist surviving family members with filing a wrongful death suit. In every case, we are here to guide our clients through the difficult period of recovery that follows serious accidents.
