Product Liability

Every day, unsuspecting victims are injured or killed by defective products. Whether it be a defective design or a manufacturing error, it can often be shown that product manufacturers are negligent or sometimes even purposely value profits over properly safeguarding the health of their consumers.

When a product is purchased, a consumer has a reasonable expectation that the item will function as advertised. Consumers also have a reasonable expectation that they will be warned about any possible harm the product may cause when used. Consumers injured by a defective or malfunctioning product, as well as those injured due to a failure to warn about the dangers involved when using a product, are entitled to seek damages from those responsible. Whether the defective or hazardous condition involved was caused the manufacturer, the distributer who shipped it, or the retailer who sold it, the party responsible can be held liable and forced to compensate the victim for their injuries.

If you or a loved one suffer an injury caused by a defective product, it is very important that you preserve the evidence by keeping the defective product as is, without any changes or modifications, until you consult with an experienced product liability lawyer. If the defective product is owned or controlled by someone else, it is imperative that you seek legal help immediately to help ensure that any needed evidence is properly preserved. Regardless of the circumstances involved, it will always be in your interest to consult with an experienced product liability attorney as soon as possible after suffering a product related injury. Physical evidence needs to be secured before it is altered or lost, those potentially at fault need to be put on notice, and it is important to secure any witness testimony while the events are still fresh in their minds. Probably more so than any other practice area, cases involving defective products should be investigated and acted upon as soon as possible after an injury occurs. So if you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a defective or hazardous product, don’t delay and contact the experienced product liability team at the Law Offices of Christopher Sullivan, P.C.
