Each year tens of thousands of people are injured by defective products. Consumers should be able to rely on manufacturers to design and build a product that is safe and does not pose a threat of bodily harm. Common products that injure persons include factory machinery, automobiles, airplanes, food products, pharmaceuticals and children’s toys. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises that there are 200-300 product recalls each year. These defective products are responsible for scarring, pain, suffering, disabilities, loss of income, debt due to medical and other bills and even death. Our lawyers at Link & Smith, P.C. have the knowledge and experience you need.
Products liability laws are designed to prevent harm from defective products and compensate innocent victims. A product manufacturer should be held accountable when a consumer is injured when using the product in a proper manner. Manufacturers defend themselves by claiming the consumer was using the product in an improper manner or that the consumer failed to read the product warnings. Some manufacturers also defend themselves by claiming the consumer made alterations to the product and this was the cause of injury. Due to the complexity of the product design and manufacturing process it is important that victims of defective products hire an attorney who can tackle these complex issues and protect their interests.
