Legal Help Bringing a Defective Product Claim

A home burns down because of a defective space heater, a child suffers serious injuries because of a dangerous toy, a man dies from using a defective piece of machinery - these are the kind of tragic circumstances that make the news.

Bringing a Product Liability Lawsuit

If you were seriously injured, or a loved one has died, you may be able to seek compensation in court for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Manufacturers, and sometimes retailers, are liable for putting defective product into the hands of a consumer. You may be able to file a claim under one of the following categories: strict products liability, negligence, or breach of warranty.
