Every year, dozens of products are recalled to keep consumers safe from injuries that could result from a defective product. Unfortunately, hundreds of people may suffer injuries from a defective product before the manufacturer becomes aware of the problem. Issuing a recall does not always negate a manufacturer’s liability for injuries.
If you are the victim of an accident caused by a defective product, you may be entitled to a product liability claim and compensation. Our personal injury attorneys at Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC can help you pursue financial recovery for your injuries and damages.
Types of Defective Product Cases
Several types of product liability issues may warrant a personal injury lawsuit, including:
- Defective product warnings: Products are required by law to warn consumers of dangers if the product is toxic, cannot be made safe, or is otherwise harmful. However, inaccurate warnings, poorly written or completely lacking make the warning itself defective. Injuries resulting from a defective warning are grounds for a personal injury case.
- Manufacturing defects: Sometimes mistakes made during the manufacturing process make a product more dangerous than it should be, even when used correctly. Such mistakes may make the manufacturer liable for injuries resulting from as-directed product use.
- Design defect: Product design itself can contribute to accidents and injuries. The product designer may be held liable if the design makes a product unreasonably and excessively dangerous when used as intended.
- Defective medications: Individuals may seek damages when an appropriately prescribed medication causes harm because of dangerous side effects or a failure to have the intended effect at all.
Defective product cases can be highly technical. Individuals may not know what evidence to use or arguments to make to demonstrate the correct use of the product and liability, and that may mean you forfeit compensation for your injuries and losses.
Do not forfeit the compensation you deserve by waiting too long to take legal action or hastily accepting a settlement offer. Get the expert legal counsel you need from Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC. Call us today to interview our team and file your product liability claim.
Product liability cases are contingency fee-based. There are no legal fees unless you collect damages
