Various Types of Product Liability Cases

Common examples of product liability include:

  • Manufacturer problems with design
  • Defective parts
  • No warning labels
  • Failure to properly test the product

One of the more complicated aspects of a product liability case is determining who was to blame for the faulty or defective product to reach market. It can be the company that designed the product, the business that manufactured it, even the retailer who sold it to you or your loved one.

One of the first things we do for a client we’re helping with a products liability claim is to obtain all the design, manufacturing, shipping and retailing records. We will interview key people at the various organizations and subpoena emails and internal documents. We will examine your medical records that were taken at the time you sought treatment for your injuries. Then, we will prepare a strategy under the assumption that the case will go to trial. This enables us to take a tough stance with the insurance companies involved who will want to pay as little in damages as possible.
