Product Liability and Defective Product Injuries

Case review

The product, the incident, and the resulting injury.

A product-related injury calls for a careful review of the product and the circumstances in which it was used. The investigation may involve the design, manufacture, instructions, warnings, maintenance, repairs, and any changes made to the product.

A malfunction or an injury alone does not answer the legal questions. The attorney evaluates the evidence to determine whether there is a basis for a claim and which parties may be involved.
