Product liability claims arise when a defective vehicle, medication, appliance, or other product causes injury. Common cases include faulty brakes or airbags, dangerous prescription drugs, and toys or equipment lacking proper warnings. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can all be held liable if their product is unreasonably dangerous or if they fail to provide adequate instructions or warnings.
If you’re harmed by a product, preserve the product in its current state and gather any instructions, receipts, or packaging. Seek medical treatment and document your injuries thoroughly. Report the incident to regulatory agencies if applicable. Product liability cases often require expert analysis to prove a defect or failure; a qualified attorney can investigate, assemble evidence, and work to hold large manufacturers accountable for your injuries.
