Products Liability
All too often, media reports these days are flooded with product recalls due to unsafe and defective products. Sadly, these defective products are frequently recalled only after a personal injury has occurred as a result of the product’s defect.
Individuals or companies are responsible for personal injuries that result from defective products and are held liable due to the product liability laws in the United States. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a defective product you need an experienced product liability lawyer.
At The Royal Law Firm, we have the experience and resources to pursue your defective product claim. When a product is not fit for its ordinary or intended purpose, fails to warn of potential dangers, or malfunctions causing personal injury or death, you may have the basis for a defective product claim. The term “product” can include anything purchased or used by consumers, including but not limited to:
- Automobiles
- Machinery
- Prescription drugs
- Medical devices
- Medicine
- Food
- Household items
- Toys
- Tools
In addition, product liability often becomes a factor in other claims like workers’ compensation and car accidents. A workplace accident may have been caused by a known manufacturer defect, or a car crash may be caused by poorly designed tires. Claims against automotive manufacturers include seat belts that malfunction or lap belt only seatbelts, vehicles that are unstable and roll over or seats that collapse or fall backwards. What these also have in common is that the product liability claim might be another avenue for recovery, although it takes experienced attorneys like Kenneth Royal to recognize that path.
