Why Should I Hire a Pike County Product Liability Lawyer?

Grounds for Product Liability Lawsuits

You may file a product liability lawsuit on three primary grounds. The first is failure to warn, meaning the product was safe if used properly but failed to come with a clear and visible warning regarding any potential hazards it may pose if misused. The second is negligent product design, which means that the product was flawed in its design, and that the design flaw caused the product to become unsafe for consumer use. The third ground on which you may file a product liability lawsuit is negligent manufacturing, meaning the product was safe by design, but due to an error made during manufacturing, the product became unsafe for consumer use.

Documenting a Defective Product Injury

If you were harmed by a defective product, you should take the following steps to improve your chances of winning a future personal injury claim:

1. Do not discard the product. The defective product itself may work as evidence to support your claim.
2. Seek out medical attention immediately.
3. Take pictures of any damage the product caused.
4. Ask anyone who saw the accident for their contact information.
5. Keep copies of all medical documentation regarding your injuries.
6. Hire a competent product liability lawyer who can help satisfy the burden of proof on your behalf.
