Types of Product Liability Cases
Product liability cases can arise in various forms, and our attorneys are experienced in handling a wide range of cases, including:
Products that are inherently unsafe due to their design. These cases often involve products that pose a risk to consumers even when used as intended. Our attorneys work to prove that a safer alternative design was feasible and that the manufacturer failed to implement it. Examples include toys with small parts that pose a choking hazard to children, tools that lack necessary safety features, and vehicles with stability issues that make them prone to rollovers.
Products that become dangerous due to errors in the manufacturing process. These defects can occur during assembly, fabrication, or production. We investigate to identify the specific manufacturing flaws that caused the injury and hold the responsible parties accountable. Examples include contaminated food products, pharmaceuticals with incorrect dosages, and machinery with faulty components that lead to accidents.
Products that lack adequate warnings or instructions for safe use. These cases involve products that could have been used safely if proper warnings or instructions were provided. We demonstrate that the manufacturer knew or should have known about the risks and failed to provide necessary warnings. Examples include cleaning products without proper usage instructions, medications without adequate side effect warnings, and power tools without safety guidelines.
Products such as household items, toys, and electronics that pose a danger to users due to defects or lack of safety features. These cases often involve widespread recalls and require extensive investigation to establish liability. Examples include household appliances that overheat and catch fire, children's toys with toxic materials, and electronics with faulty batteries that explode.
Medical devices that cause harm due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings. These cases require specialized knowledge of medical regulations and standards to prove liability. Examples include malfunctioning pacemakers, hip replacements that fail prematurely, and surgical instruments that break during procedures.
Defective auto parts and vehicles that lead to accidents and injuries. These cases can involve faulty brakes, airbags, tires, or other critical components. Our attorneys work with experts to analyze the defects and establish the manufacturer’s liability. Examples include airbags that deploy unexpectedly, brakes that fail, and tires with tread separation issues.
Products containing hazardous chemicals or materials that cause illness or injury. These cases often involve long-term exposure and require thorough investigation to link the product to the harm suffered. Examples include asbestos in building materials, lead in paint, and harmful chemicals in consumer products that lead to chronic health conditions.
