What to Expect from a Product Liability Lawsuit in Frayser
Product liability occurs when a manufacturer, designer, distributor, or retailer does something that makes them negligent for the injuries their product caused to you. There are many situations where this can occur, ranging from mild to serious losses. Some examples of product liability accidents include:
- Failure to warn of risks
- Hazardous materials not disclosed
- Failure to warn of a choking hazard
- Poor design that did not work, leading to injury
There are many times when a product does not seem to have any defects during the design or manufacturing phase but then does not have the right labeling to make it safe to use. Other times, the designs were flawed from the start, and the manufacturer should have known that was the case. In these cases, someone may be liable for the losses you have.
Who to Hold Liable in a Product Liability Claim
Our product liability attorneys in Frayser will listen to the details of what occurred to you and why and then work to better understand how this happened. We will compare other cases like your own, find evidence to support your claims and provide clarity on what went wrong. From there, we can determine who may be liable for your losses, which could include:
- The designer of the product
- The manufacturer of the product
- The company that assembled the product
- The company that installed the product
- The wholesaler or distributor of the product
- The retailer who sold it to you
Not every party is to blame in every situation, but our objective is to determine who failed and why it happened so that those liable can pay for the losses they caused to you. If you sustained serious injuries or other losses due to the negligence of any party, you should file a claim. Let our Frayser product liability attorney offer guidance on what your next steps are.
