When you buy something, such as a car, a power tool, or a new crib for your baby, you trust that it’s safe. That trust isn’t just a feeling. It’s a promise companies make every time they sell a product. And when they break that promise, it can leave you with a serious injury, hospital visits, lost work, and a mountain of bills.

Whether it’s a faulty airbag, a toxic household chemical, or a child’s toy that was never properly tested, we take on the companies responsible and we don’t back down.
We believe in holding manufacturers, retailers, and large corporations accountable when they cut corners and put profits ahead of people. If you or someone you love has been injured by a defective product, don’t wait to get help.

What Is a Product Liability Claim?
In 2024, over 15.1 million people were treated in emergency rooms for injuries caused by consumer products, which was an 18.2% increase from the previous year. After hitting a record low in 2020, these injuries have continued to rise each year, highlighting a growing problem with product safety.
Product liability is an area of law that holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible when a product causes injury due to a defect or failure to warn about known risks. These claims can be complex, as they often involve large corporations with significant legal resources.
If a product is defective and that defect leads to harm, the company that made or sold the product may be legally liable, even if they didn’t intend to cause harm.
Product Liability Categories
Generally, a product liability attorney can help you file a lawsuit for three types of product defect claims:
- Design Defects: The entire product line is unsafe because of a flaw in its design. The design itself makes the product unreasonably dangerous, even if it was built perfectly. An example might be a children’s toy with a design that creates a choking hazard.
- Manufacturing Defects: A defect that occurs during the manufacturing process, making a single product or a small batch of products unsafe. This type of defect is not part of the original design. For example, if a car’s brake line was installed improperly in only one vehicle on the assembly line.
- Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn): This happens when a product is dangerous in a way that isn’t obvious to the user, and the company fails to provide adequate warnings or instructions. For instance, a medication without proper warnings about its side effects, or a power tool without a warning about a potential injury risk.
In most product liability cases, you don’t have to prove the company was negligent. You only need to show that the product was defective or unreasonably dangerous, and that it caused your injury.
