Areas Of Practice

Some of the types of injury cases we handle include:

Product Liability

Product liability refers to a set of cases where the injury is caused by a product. For instance, an improperly manufactured tire that explodes would be a product liability case. So would a case where a child's pajamas caught fire when only briefly exposed to flame. Even tainted food can be a product liability case. Anytime a consumer is hurt because something sold was defective, we refer to it as a product liability case.

Product liability cases are different than negligence cases. Product liability cases are governed by the concept of "strict liability." In order to win a product liability case, the victim need only prove that the product was defective before it left the hands of the defendant and it caused damages. In product liability cases, the defendants normally include the manufacturer of the product and the retailer. These days, the manufacturers are often foreign corporations which are nearly impossible to sue. But it is easy to sue the importer of the product as well as the retailer.

Claims associated with product liability cases include claims for breach of expressed warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, and breach of warranty for a particular purpose. Each case is unique and will require a careful legal analysis by an attorney.

Much more can be said about product liability. This area of law if very dense and complicated. This is why you need an experienced attorney if you have been injured by a product of any kind. Despite our experience, we recognize the complexity of product liability law, and have no problem teaming up with other law offices when necessary in order to assure you receive the best result possible.
