Product manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have an obligation to produce and sell products that are safe for their intended purpose and any reasonably foreseeable use. Our attorneys have extensive experience working with engineering, manufacturing, and product design experts to help us demonstrate liability in defective product litigation.
We have handled product liability cases involving a wide range of dangerous and defective products including:
- Children's toys
- Household products
- Electrical products
- Power tools
- Farming tools and machinery
- Auto safety devices and auto parts
Proving fault is more complex than just showing that a product caused an injury. In most product liability cases, the plaintiff must show one of five elements: a design defect, a manufacturing defect, a marketing defect, failure to warn of potential dangers, or failure to guard against known dangers. We understand how to prove fault in defective product cases. In addition, we have a board certified emergency room doctor on staff to help us illustrate the short and long-term consequences of our client's injuries.
