Defective Product Caused Personal Injury

There are several things that can happen to someone if they are injured by a defective product. The results of such products can not only include personal injury, but also death. The personal injury lawyers at Contrada & Associates help victims of defective products file legal claims and seek compensation for the injuries that have affected their lives.

Contrada & Associates has extensive experience with product liability claims. This specific type of claim is issued when a defective product causes injury to an individual. The injuries that may result from defective products vary, but may include things such as fractured bones, severe sprains, burns, blindness, and serious injuries to the head.

Product Defect Liability

The manufacturer or seller of a product may be held liable in a product defect claim. Reasons for product liability lawsuits include the following:

  • Design defects – obvious flaw in design that caused individual harm
  • Manufacturing defects – defects in the manufacturing of the product
  • Marketing defects – failure to warn of hazards related to the product; improper safety instructions (example: cars, tires, small appliances)

When injured by a defective product, our personal injury lawyers remind you to NOT dispose of that product. It is imperative that you keep the defective product and take photos of the product itself and the injuries that it caused. You must have the product to pursue a defective products claim.
