Product Liability Cases We Handle
Product liability cases can take many forms, and we handle a wide range of defective product claims, including:
- Defective Auto Parts — When brakes fail, airbags don’t deploy, or tires blow out unexpectedly, the consequences can be devastating. Faulty car parts put drivers, passengers, and everyone on the road at risk.
- Dangerous Pharmaceuticals — Prescription and over-the-counter medications are supposed to help, not harm. But when drugs aren’t properly tested, have undisclosed risks, or come with misleading labels, they can cause serious side effects and long-term health problems.
- Defective Medical Devices — Medical devices like pacemakers, hip implants, and surgical tools should improve lives. Still, when they fail, they can lead to severe injuries, complications, or even life-threatening conditions.
- Household Appliances and Electronics — A simple household item shouldn’t be dangerous, but poorly designed or cheaply made appliances can cause electrical shocks, fires, and other serious injuries.
- Children’s Toys and Products — Parents trust that toys, cribs, and car seats are safe, but defective designs can lead to choking hazards, structural failures, or a complete lack of protection when it matters most.
- Contaminated Food Products — Foodborne illnesses can be serious, and they often result from bacteria, poor handling, or undisclosed allergens that put people at risk. When companies cut corners, consumers pay the price.
You may have a valid claim if you were injured by a dangerous product. Our attorneys will investigate your case, determine which party was responsible, and fight for the maximum compensation available.
The Reality of Product Liability
Product defects and failures are more common than most people realize. Consider these alarming statistics:
- In 2022, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced 292 product recalls, a 33% increase from the previous year, highlighting ongoing safety concerns with consumer products.
- According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 30 million vehicles were recalled in 2021 due to defects that posed safety risks.
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regularly issues recalls for medications and medical devices that pose safety risks, with hundreds of recalls reported each year.
- A study from the CDC found that foodborne illnesses linked to contaminated products cause an estimated 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations, and 3,000 deaths annually in the U.S.
These numbers make it clear—defective products can cause serious harm. If you’ve been injured, filing a claim isn’t just about getting the compensation you need; it’s also about holding companies accountable and helping prevent others from getting hurt.
