Defective consumer products cause thousands of major injuries each year. Companies have a duty to make sure that the products they make are safe. Just about every consumer item — cars, automotive products, toys, medical devices, pharmaceutical products, appliances, tools — is subject to state and/or federal products liability law.
If you have been injured by a defective product, keep the product. Do not throw it away or send it back to the manufacturer. The product will have to be independently tested and analyzed to prove it was defective, and without the product itself, it is very difficult to bring a claim. Many victims of defective products have sent the defective product to the manufacturer for testing, only to have the product be “lost.” Varying statutes of limitations apply to different product liability actions. We recommend you call the Meshbesher Law Firm for a free consultation.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, it may be possible to get compensation for the resulting medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. It is important that you act as quickly as possible following the injury to ensure that adequate investigation occurs and that preservation of the evidence is secured.
