Common types of defective product claims
Design Defects
This involves products that are inherently dangerous because of their design, even if made perfectly. A design defect attorney can help prove the product’s design was unsafe and pursue compensation for injured consumers.
Manufacturing Defects
These defects happen during the production process, causing a product to be different and more dangerous than the others on the shelf. A manufacturing defect lawyer can help prove the specific product was flawed and caused your injury.
Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects)
This occurs when a product is sold without adequate warnings or instructions about its potential dangers. Because manufacturers have a duty to inform consumers of non-obvious risks, a failure-to-warn lawyer can help pursue compensation for your losses.

{
"content": "You may have a product liability claim if you were injured while using a product as intended, and the injury was caused by a defect in the product's design, manufacturing, or marketing (failure to warn). The key elements are proving the product was defective, you suffered an injury or loss, and the defect directly caused your injury. If you suspect a product caused you harm, it's best to consult an attorney who can evaluate the specifics of your situation.",

{
"content": "In a product liability case, liability can extend to multiple parties in the product's 'chain of distribution.' This can include the product manufacturer, the manufacturer of a specific component part, the wholesaler or distributor, and the retail store that sold the product. An experienced attorney will investigate to identify all potentially responsible parties to maximize your potential recovery.",

{
"content": "Compensation, or 'damages,' can cover a range of losses. This includes economic damages like medical bills (past and future), lost wages, and reduced earning capacity. It also includes non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the manufacturer.",

}
{
"content": "The time limit to file a lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. For product liability cases, it is typically between one to four years from the date of injury. Some states also have a 'statute of repose,' which sets a deadline based on the product's manufacturing date. Because these deadlines are strict, it is critical to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your right to file a claim.",
