Big businesses are so eager to make money these days that they often rush products out the door without sufficient testing. Sometimes the products are fine, but in other cases, the products break or don’t perform as expected and cause injuries to the unwitting consumers who purchase them.
If you or a family member has been injured by a defective product, you do have recourse. With the aid of an experienced product defect attorney, like the attorneys here at Law Offices of Philip M. Cohen A.P.C., you can pursue a product defect claim against the manufacturer.
At the very least, the negligent manufacturer of a defective product should pay your medical bills. In many product defect cases, though, juries award large settlements to penalize manufacturers focused solely on profit. Monetary award aside, your case against the manufacturer can also help ensure that no-one else is injured by their products, and may prompt a recall that keeps other consumers safe.
Product Liability Cases may be Complex
Defective or poorly-designed products may fail and cause injury to the user for many reasons. The fault could be a design flaw, poor-quality manufacture or simply a lack of instruction or warning. Depending on the flaw that caused the injury, the defective product claim may warrant a different approach to litigation. In some cases, the designer may be liable; in some cases, it may be the manufacturer; there are even product liability cases where the company selling the product shares liability.
Determining these matters is one of our first priorities when we litigate a defective product case. We’ll talk to you about how the product failed, how you or your family member became injured and where in the process things went wrong. Then we can pursue the claim with the appropriate party, and litigate if necessary.
