What is it called when a person is injured by a defective product?

Product liability law serves to protect those injured from unsafe products, with manufacturers, distributors, and retailers all potentially held accountable for injuries caused by defects they produce. These are the main categories:

• Design defects
• Manufacturing defects
• Marketing defects

What are my consumer rights?

Consumers have certain rights when purchasing defective products.

• Right to Safe Products
• Right to Compensation
• Right to Legal Recourse

What are the types of claims for product defects?

• Strict Liability: With this claim, negligence isn't required - all that needs to be proved is that a product was defective and caused damage.
• Negligence Claim: You must demonstrate that the manufacturer or seller failed to exercise due care when manufacturing a product.
• Breach of Warranty: When the product fails to meet safety or performance standards set out by its seller or manufacturer.

Why would it be beneficial to hire a personal injury attorney?

• Personal injury attorneys understand the nuances of product liability and can help clients build strong claims.
• Personal injury attorneys can negotiate with insurance providers or third-party defendants for fair compensation.
• Personal injury attorneys may employ expert witnesses, investigative resources, and support staff to bolster cases effectively.

When should an attorney be hired?

As soon as you suspect a defective product has caused your injuries, contact a personal injury attorney immediately. Every state has specific statutes of limitation that could impede your claim if too much time passes before seeking legal help.

What criteria must I keep in mind when searching for an attorney?

• Experience: When hiring a personal injury attorney, choose one who specializes in product liability cases.
• Reputation: Client testimonials gives an indication of an attorney's standing within their community and credibility.
