What are the most common injuries related to defective products?

Unsafe products may cause injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening. Here are a few injuries caused by defective products:

• Burns and Scalds
• Cuts and Lacerations
• Fractures and Sprains
• Internal Injuries

What steps should be taken when injured by defective products?

Here's what to do if a defective product has caused your injuries:

• Seek Medical Attention
• Preserve Evidence
• Report the Incident
• Document Everything
• Consult an Attorney

What type of defective product liability claims exist?

• Design Defects can occur when an object's design makes it unsafe.
• Manufacturing Defects can have serious repercussions for medicine production lines. For instance, improper dosage distribution among batches produced.
• Marketing Defects, more commonly referred to as failures to warn, refer to products sold for retail sale with inadequate warnings or instructions.

Why hiring a personal injury attorney could be beneficial?

• Personal injury attorneys who specialize in product liability law can be invaluable resources in helping navigate through its complexities.
• Personal injury attorneys can negotiate with other parties and insurers to secure you maximum compensation.
• Personal injury attorneys have access to resources and experts who can investigate defects, determine liability, and help build strong cases.

When should an attorney be hired?

After you're injured by a defective product, consult with a personal injury attorney immediately. Doing this gives them enough time to collect evidence, interview witnesses, and build a case successfully - any delays could lost any vital pieces of evidence or reduce claims altogether due to legal time limitations.
