The law protects victims who are injured by defective products. Whether it’s a manufacturing defect, design defect, or lack of adequate warnings or instructions, the law provides recourse for those who suffer as a result.

If you or a family member is injured by a defective or dangerous product:

• Seek treatment promptly and consistently
• Document everything you can about the accident, including the serial number, make, and model of the product that injured you
• Keep the product that caused you injury or ask that it be preserved and kept in the same condition
• Consult with an experienced personal injury law firm as soon as possible to learn your options.

What duty do manufacturers, suppliers, and sellers have?

Manufacturers, suppliers, and sellers of products have a legal responsibility to ensure that their products are properly designed, tested, manufactured, supplied, and sold without any defects, unsafe or hazardous conditions. Failure to meet this duty can put at risk of serious injury or death people who purchase or use the products as well as bystanders.

What is product liability?

Product liability refers to a type of case where a person was injured by a defective, hazardous, unsafe or dangerous product, and brings a claim against the designer, manufacturer, seller, or supplier of that product.

A product can be defective, hazardous, unsafe or dangerous for a variety of reasons including: defects in manufacturing or design, defects created by modifications made to the product by the seller or supplier, or the failure of any party in the chain of distribution of the product to provide adequate warnings.

Product liability cases are extremely complex and challenging, and subject to specialized and complicated law. If injured by a dangerous or defective product, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney.

Who is responsible?

You may have a claim against the manufacturer, supplier, or seller of the product that harmed you. Not only are these cases normally complex and expensive to pursue, but they may involve class actions or “multi-district litigation” in which numerous separate claims of injury are involved in one related action.
