When products are sold or manufactured that contain dangerous defects or companies fail to include proper warnings, those companies can and should be held legally liable for any injuries caused by the products. Most injuries occur to older adults and younger children, and include everyday products such as TVs, cleaning products, beds and toys. Approximately 13 million people are treated in the emergency room each year due to injuries from consumer products.

Do I Need An Attorney After A Defective Product Injury?

Product liability lawsuits are often much more costlier to pursue than other injury claims, because the liable parties are usually large corporations with deep pockets and large legal teams. These companies will likely deny liability for claims arising from their products, because of the negative publicity and high insurance rates that could come from such claims. Proving liability could also involve expert knowledge of manufacturing and engineering processes.

Some common types of defective product claims includes:

• Defective design
• Defective manufacturing
• Inadequate warnings or instructions
• Dangerous drugs or medical devices
