Product Defects Injuries
Any manufactured product which is defective and causes an injury may entitle the victim to compensation as a result of the faulty manufacture, design, labeling and/or warning. The product liability lawsuit involves injuries caused by a defective product. The defective product is one that is not reasonably safe for its intended use. An intended use of the product includes all those uses a reasonably prudent person might meet of the product bearing in mind its characteristics, warning and labels.
If you have been injured by a defective product, here are some things to consider: save or retain the product and any documents or packaging accompanied it. Identify as much information about the product as possible, including the name and manufacturer, model number, place and date of purchase, and serial number. Store it in a safe place and do not modify or change it. Obtain the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses. Do not discuss this case with anyone and do not give any written or recorded statements about it.
A product liability case is difficult, time consuming and expensive. It requires an experienced product liability lawyer with sufficient resource to properly evaluate and prove the product defects.
