Defective Product Lawyers

A defective product claim is a case against the company that designed, manufactured, or sold a product that injured someone because it was unsafe. It’s a form of product liability law, and it applies to almost anything including vehicles and vehicle parts, children’s products, household goods, medical devices, and more. When a product causes serious harm because of how it was designed, made, or labeled, the company responsible can be held accountable for the injuries it caused.

How Defective Product Claims Arise

• Design defects — the product itself is unreasonably dangerous, even when manufactured and used exactly as intended.
• Manufacturing defects — something went wrong in production, making a specific unit or batch more dangerous than the product was designed to be.
• Failure to warn — the manufacturer knew or should have known about a risk and didn’t adequately warn consumers about it.

Types of Defective Product Cases We Handle

Defective and dangerous products show up in nearly every part of daily life, including:

• Vehicles and auto parts — defective tires, seat belts, airbags, and other components that fail and cause or worsen a crash.
• Children’s products — dangerous toys, defective car seats, and other products marketed for infants and children.
• Consumer products — household items, appliances, and other everyday products that pose an unexpected safety risk.
• Medical devices and pharmaceuticals — implants, devices, and medications that cause harm due to defective design, manufacturing, or inadequate warnings.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by a product you believed was safe to use, our attorneys can review what happened and explain your options.

Do I Have a Defective Product Case?

Not every injury involving a product leads to a viable legal claim. Generally, you may have a case if:

• You were using the product as intended, or in a way the manufacturer could reasonably expect
• You suffered a real injury, illness, or loss as a result
• There’s a clear connection between the product and your injury
• The company knew, or should have known, about the risk and failed to design around it, manufacture it safely, or warn you about it

If this sounds like your situation, it’s worth having an attorney review the details.

What Compensation May Cover

Depending on the specifics of your case, compensation may address:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and diminished future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Wrongful death damages for surviving family members, in fatal cases

Every case is different, and its value depends on the severity of the injury, the strength of the evidence connecting it to the product, and other case-specific factors.
