There are times when manufacturers and large companies attempt to save a dollar or two in the manufacturing process in order to be sure that they profit off of a product. Unfortunately, this can happen at the expense of one of their consumers. Getting an injury from a defective product can be jarring, but contacting a lawyer to help you with your case will put your mind at ease so that you can concentrate on healing from whatever injuries the product may have caused.
Building Your Claim
Each of us uses hundreds of products per day, all with the expectation that they are reasonably safe to use. A defective product can be extremely dangerous or hazardous, and at times even fatal. Defective product cases range from defunct children’s toys that cause injury to medicines that cause extreme illness. But we never expect that any of our products could cause us harm because there is an agreement between the consumer and manufacturer that the manufacturer is always testing and checking their product safety.

When faulty products end up on the shelves because they slipped past quality control checks, it can be devastating. If you or someone you love is injured by one of these products, you may be overwhelmed by the thought of taking legal action, but doing so can result in compensation for the harm done to you and help others who could potentially be harmed by the product. With the help of a lawyer, you just have to prove that your injury was caused because of the defect of a product, or false representation of the product. Your lawyer will help you gather evidence and the testimony of expert witnesses who can prove that your injury was the fault of any of the following:
- The retail store that sold the product to the consumer
- The wholesaler that sold the product to retail stores
- Someone involved in the assembly of the products
- The manufacturer of the parts that were used for the product
- The product manufacturer
Some manufacturers will attempt to argue that the injury was the fault of the consumer, who they will argue was using the product incorrectly or tampered with the product before use. With the help of a defective product lawyer, you can have your side of the story heard and get compensated for your injuries.
