What is Product Liability?
A defective product is a product that causes injury or harm to a person as
a result of a design defect, defective manufacturing, or faulty labeling.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there are
approximately 22,000 deaths and more than 29 million personal injuries associated
with consumer products each year.
Defective Product claims can be based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty of fitness depending on the jurisdiction within which the claim is based. Many states have enacted comprehensive defective products statutes. These statutory provisions can be very diverse such that the the United States Department of Commerce has promulgated a Model Uniform Products Liability Act (MUPLA) for voluntary use by the states.
Some of the Defective Product types are:
• breast implants
• children's products (toys and strollers)
• joint and hip replacements
• tobacco smoke
• tires & airbags & faulty braks
• prescription drugs
Reasons to Hire a Defective Products Lawyer
• You need professional help to fight for your injury.
• You should not have to worry about your violated personal injury rights.
• You should be able to concentrate on getting better and not spending
your time at the courthouse or with your defective products lawyer.
Do I really need a Defective Products Lawyer?
This is the first question you should ask yourself. In some cases, you can
handle the problem without hiring a lawyer. If the problem is small and can
be handled without the advice of defective product lawyers, then you can usually find the right
forms and resources to help you at a legal portal. However, if the situation
involves a major problem than you probably need a defective product injury lawyer.
What kind of Lawyer do I need?
A lot of lawyers specialize in one area of the law. General practitioners,
however, have a wide range of matters that they handle. If your legal matter
involves a specialized area of law like family, bankruptcy, taxation, or patent
laws, then you need to contact a specialist. If you are dealing with a general
matter, then a general practice lawyer should be able to help you. Make sure
to ask your attorney whether he or she specializes in an area of law before
you decide to hire them.
