Product Liability Lawyer

Generally speaking, there are three broad categories of product liability cases: design defects, marketing defects, and manufacturing defects. Design defects describe products that are inherently defective due to their design. Manufacturing defects refer to flaws in the product that develop during the manufacturing process. A marketing defect could mean that a company failed to warn about a likely problem with the product.

Defective or malfunctioning products can cause severe injuries or death, without any fault on the part of the individual utilizing the product. Commencing a product liability lawsuit is often the only method to compensate a victim for their treatment needs, income losses, pain and suffering, out-of-pocket expenses, and other damages.

A common issue in product liability cases is determining who exactly bears responsibility for the defective product. A product liability lawyer will have to meticulously research and examine the responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, marketing companies and others.

A few examples of product liability cases handled by the legal professionals at Foster Injury Law include: a high end road bicycle which inexplicably fell apart while in use, a malfunctioning boom truck which threw its operator through the air and onto the ground, and a trunk door of a new SUV which suddenly collapsed onto the head of the owner. Evidently, defective product cases come in all shapes and sizes and require an experienced product liability lawyer to successfully obtain appropriate compensation.

In some situations, it can be difficult to know whether a product was truly defective, or if the injury sustained was a natural risk of employing the product. In more complex cases, we will consult an expert in the field of the product to provide an opinion regarding its performance.
