Each one of us is dependent on the safety of the products that we use every day. It is impossible for a consumer to anticipate the potential problems with every product that is used. Instead we rely on product manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers to ensure that all reasonably foreseeable defects are taken care of before we use the product. Yet, sometimes the people and the companies that we rely upon are negligent in their duties and defective products injure consumers.
Product safety and liability claims generally occur because of a design defect, a manufacturing defect, a failure to inspect a product or a failure to provide adequate warnings to consumers about the proper use or the foreseeable dangers of the product. This can result in significant personal injuries or even death.
A product liability lawsuit can arise from any defective product that causes a physical injury. However, there are certain types of products that commonly lead to product liability claims. For example, our law firm represents plaintiffs in pharmaceutical litigation, defective children’s toys litigation, defective medical device litigation and food contamination litigation. We fight for our clients to recover compensation for the injuries that they incurred. Possible damages may include compensation for economic and non-economic losses.
