Despite a clear legal duty to make sure that their products are safe, or at the very least not unreasonably dangerous, there is no shortage of new stories about manufacturers who place more value on profits than the health and lives of their customers. People are injured just about every day by dangerously defective products. Some product flaws can even be fatal. Product liability law involves holding manufacturers and others in the stream of commerce liable for any injuries and deaths that are caused by dangerous products.

After a product is manufactured by a business, it’s usually bought by at least one other business, and then the product ultimately ends up in the hands of the consumer. That’s the chain of distribution. Liability for placing dangerously defective products into the hands of a consumer can be attributable to:
Under product liability law, the plaintiff (injured person) must prove that the product was defective. So, in order to prevail in a lawsuit, a person who believes that his or her injuries were caused by a dangerously defective product must show that there were at least one of three types of defects in the product.
The three main types of product defects are:
Nearly all injury cases involve the law of negligence, but product liability law allows claimants to use the law of strict liability. Under the law of strict liability, it’s irrelevant what precautions a manufacturer took when it made a consumer product. As a result, if you've been injured, you must be able to prove that:
We hold companies who make their products available to the public accountable. If you were injured by a product while using it for its intended purposes, you might be entitled to financial compensation.
As a consumer, virtually anything you can buy or use could be the subject of a product liability lawsuit. It could be a household cleaner. It could be the copy machine you use at work. It could be a tainted food product. It may also be a pharmaceutical drug or medical device that is supposed to help you.
We handle products liability cases involving these and other products, including:
Whatever type of product your case involves, preserve the product as soon after the accident as possible. If you can’t, our lawyers know what to do and can take immediate action on your behalf.
Product liability cases involve highly complex litigation, but we’ve taken on some of the largest companies in the country and prevailed. Not only might you be entitled to damages, but you can help keep products safe for other users too. It’s important that you try to preserve any evidence that you have regarding the product.

Our firm represented the devastated families of a young couple who were prematurely taken from this world as the result of tire and vehicle design and manufacturing defects which abruptly ended their lives. The couple was on their way to obtain a marriage license when their vehicle, without warning, flipped and rolled uncontrollably, crushing the roof and killing the couple. Lawsuits based on defective product liability and negligence were filed on behalf of each of the families. Each of the cases was settled. Each settled for an amount in excess of $5,000,000.
