DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

While there are thousands of safe and reliable products used each day, there are also thousands of people hurt or killed by defective products in the United States every year. Over 22,000 deaths and 29 million injuries are reported by the Consumer Product Safety Commission annually. The daily news reports manufacturers’ recalls because of the damages, injury and death that their products have caused.

Product manufacturers have a legal duty to buyers, users and bystanders for any losses or injuries caused by a defect or malfunction in goods. Victims injured by dangerous products are entitled to seek money damages for medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity and pain and suffering. Survivors of those killed because of defective products may file wrongful death suits. When you file a product liability claim, you are holding the manufacturer responsible whose failure to provide a safe product caused injury or death.
