Do I Have a Product Liability Case?

A product liability case can involve virtually any type of product, whether it is a children’s toy, a household appliance, an automobile component or a piece of heavy machinery. A common example is pharmaceutical liability claims involving dangerous drugs that cause unintended health issues.

Your Rights Under Consumer Protection Laws

In the United States, consumer protection laws were established to keep consumers safe from potentially dangerous products. This means that product manufacturers and designers have a responsibility to you, the consumer. Not only are they responsible for ensuring that their products are safe to use, but they must also warn buyers of any potential risks.

Product liability holds the manufacturer accountable for their failure to take reasonable precautions that ensure the products they make and sell are free from inherent design flaws and manufacturing defects which could cause harm to consumers. The manufacturer is also expected to provide adequate labeling and warning to ensure that users are aware of known dangers.

If an injury occurred while using a product under normal circumstances and according to its intended use, the manufacturer may be found to be legally accountable to the accident victim or surviving family members. However, it will be up to you to take the first step. This is why you should waste no time in discussing your case with a product injury attorney at Fibich, Leebron, Copeland & Briggs.

Types of Product Liability Claims

Product liability may extend to several different parties in the retail process, including manufacturers, sellers, and distributors. While a manufacturer may be responsible for a faulty product, the supplier of parts used in a defective product may sometimes have equal or greater liability. Product liability claims may sometimes even be filed by parties who did not directly purchase the product, but who were harmed by its use.

The Importance of Hiring Experienced, Trial-Tested Counsel

When contemplating legal action against a manufacturer, whether it is a pharmaceutical company or an automobile manufacturer, it is important to find an attorney with the skill and dedication necessary to effectively prosecute the case.

Defendants often have vast resources at their disposal for disputing the claim, and they have considerable incentive to avoid the public relations disaster of being found to be responsible for causing injury or death.
