A defective product injury occurs when a product is designed, manufactured, marketed, or labeled in a way that creates an unreasonable risk of harm.
Elements include duty to protect the public, breach through a design or manufacturing flaw, causation linking the defect to injuries, and damages such as medical costs and lost income. Our process includes case evaluation, collecting product records, consulting with experts, negotiation, and litigation if needed.
