Product liability spans a large range of cases and circumstances. When pursuing a case, you should be sure to find knowledgeable, capable representation to assist you in seeking justice and compensation.

Every day we depend on a variety of manufactured products that assist in living comfortably. We drive our cars to work, clean our houses, and keep our children entertained with toys and games. Normally, we don't give much thought as to whether or not the products we use are safe - we assume that every product we use has been tested, examined, and approved for use. Unfortunately, every product is not tested and defective products do exist.

According to the U.S. Consumer and Product Safety Commission (CPSC), consumer products are responsible for 22,000 deaths and 29 million injuries a year. These product defects account for $500 billion annually; the number of recalls each year range between 200 and 300 products. On average, there are 218,700 toy-related injuries every year in the United States.  The pain and suffering as a result of such defective products is immeasurable.   

Products Liability Law

In general, if a product is unreasonably dangerous, or if a product does not include sufficient warnings or instructions and causes injury, you may have grounds for a product liability case. If you, or someone you love has been injured or died as a result of a defective product, recovery of financial losses is your right under the law if it is proven that a company failed to design a product fit for consumer use.  

Financial Support Helps You Recover from an Accident  

Medical bills start to pile up if you've been injured as a result of a defective product.  Filing a lawsuit can help you pay the costs you have incurred due to a company's failure to produce a safe product for the marketplace.  

If you have been involved in an accident caused by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation for:  
  • Pain and suffering
  • Future earnings
  • Medical bills related to the accident
  • Pharmacy costs
  • Physical therapy
  • Transportation
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of relationship with your spouse
  • Value of lost ability to participate in activities
   
Our client services for defective products include:  
  • Faulty or defective seat belts
  • Defective child seats

Help for You and Other Consumers  

There are laws and government regulations in place to protect you and your family from harmful or defective products, but the system isn't perfect. By filing a lawsuit you may not only collect the money you deserve but you may be instrumental in saving another individual and family from the pain you have endured.  

Lawsuits often result in recalls and redesigns that ultimately increase product safety for everyone.   Don't assume you are the only one who has been injured in an accident involving a certain product. If you don't pursue litigation, other unwary consumers may be injured by the product.
 
FREE Legal Consultation  

TIP: If injured by a product, do not discard it. Place it in a safe place and preserve it and any warnings, instructions or literature that accompanied the product, as these may become important evidence in your case.  

If you aren't sure who is at fault in your product liability case, or how best to proceed after an accident, contact our firm today at (800) 930-8145 or (978) 474-8670 for a FREE evaluation of your case.  

There is NO OBLIGATION to hire our firm and there are NO FEES unless one of our experienced product liability lawyers wins your case!     You shouldn't have to accrue debt and deplete your family's savings because a manufacturer failed to exercise the reasonable care for your safety as required by the law.
