Personal Injury

Products Liability

Print

Dangerous and defective products are another common cause of personal injuries.  Injuries can occur as a result of:

  • Exploding airbags
  • Defective seatbelts
  • Tire defects
  • Unsafe SUVs or ATVs
  • Defective or dangerous power tools
  • Defective or dangerous household appliances or consumer products
  • Flammable or explosive products
  • Electrical shock
  • Hazardous or deadly children’s toys
  • Allergic reactions
  • Dangerous prescription drugs or medical devices

With the assistance of a competent attorney, injured parties may be able to recover damages for their injuries from the manufacturer, distributor, supplier, retailer, or other party responsible for making the product available to the public.  Injured parties may have a cause of action against any or all parties along the chain of manufacture for damage caused by that product.  No one wants to think about injuries resulting from dangerous or defective products.  However, when accidents affect our lives, we realize we know very little about what to do or how to proceed.

First and foremost, it is important to seek the advice of a qualified personal injury attorney.  Products liability, like medical malpractice, involves a complex procedure for recovery and is highly technical.  Reliance on expert witnesses with specialized knowledge is imperative.  A personal injury attorney with experience in handling product defect cases can help injured victims and ensure that the injured party has been compensated for any damages or injuries sustained.

Entrust your complete recovery in the hands of an experienced and caring legal professional. Contact Attorney Stephen Hoffman to schedule a free consultation to discuss your injuries and right to compensation.
