Did a defective product injure you or someone you love?

Product Liability Lawyer on What to Do If You Were Injured Due to a Manufacturing or Design Defect

When companies take our hard-earned money in exchange for a product, it is with the understanding that as long as we use the product properly, we will be safe. That is one of the main reasons product defect injuries are entirely unacceptable. You do everything right, and because a product designer, manufacturer, or retailer misinforms you and cuts corners to make a profit, you or someone you love is left to suffer.

People should never suffer lifelong injuries or lose their lives because a product was poorly designed or manufactured. Unfortunately, we do not live in a world where things that should not happen do not happen.

Lufkin product liability lawyer Mike Love has firsthand experience with the dangers awaiting consumers looking to provide for their families. When Mike was researching car seats to purchase before the birth of his son, he could hardly believe how difficult it was to find a safe car seat on the market. First, there should never be a question concerning the safety of a product meant for children. Second, what chance do the rest of us have if a defective product attorney has trouble finding safe consumer goods?

What Is Product Liability?

Defective products can cause severe injuries and illnesses.

Faulty products can affect every industry, leading to substantial consumer injuries or diseases. Nearly any type of consumer product can become defective, and the following types of products regularly face recalls in the US:

  • Automotive parts

  • Vehicles

  • Children’s toys

  • Household appliances

  • Tools

  • Household cleaners

  • Furniture

  • Cosmetic products

  • Foods and beverages

There are three primary ways that these products become defective:

  1. Flawed design. Although most products must undergo thorough testing before being released to consumers, flawed designs are sometimes not discovered during testing.

  2. Manufacturing flaw. A well-designed product could experience a problem during the manufacturing process that renders it dangerous for consumers

  3. Marketing/labeling problem. Consumers rely on a product’s label for information about proper use. Consumers can sustain injuries or illnesses if a product is marketed or labeled inappropriately or incorrectly.

What are the different types of product defects?

Product liability can stem from several causes, including:

  • Marketing Defect—This involves not providing correct instructions on using a product properly and safely, failing to warn consumers about the risks of using a product, or not alerting consumers about the potential dangers associated with a product.

  • Design Defect – This involves a product design problem that makes it dangerous even if used properly.

  • Manufacturing Defect—This can happen when a product is not manufactured as its designers intended and can be dangerous to consumers.

How much compensation is available for these cases?

The total amount of compensation available in the aftermath of a faulty product injury will vary depending on the specifics of the particular case. If you or somebody you care about has been injured due to a defective product, the team at Mike Love & Associates, LLC will investigate every aspect of the case to secure the following types of compensation:

  • Costs of all medical bills related to the injury or illness

  • Recovery of lost wages if you cannot work

  • Pain and suffering damages

  • Loss of enjoyment of life damages

  • Punitive damages against a negligent company or manufacturer

Why should defective product victims speak to a Lufkin product liability lawyer?

Product liability victims should not try to take on large corporations and their legal departments independently.
