The Leading Product Liability Lawyer

When you’re injured due to a fault in a product, do you know where to seek compensation? Most people are confused about where to even start the process of filing a product liability claim and, with medical bills piling up, they may be even further overwhelmed by loss of income, and maybe even loss of earning potential. Many people fail to understand just how indispensable personal injury attorneys are in keeping products safe for their consumers. A personal injury attorney can lead the investigation needed to find out who is at fault for any defects in the products.

Product defects can happen at any stage during the manufacturing process and distribution process. This means that the liability can fall anywhere from the very top of the supply chain, all the way down to the very bottom of the supply chain. And, tragically, nobody wants to take responsibility for their contribution in creating an unreasonably dangerous product. Perhaps the incorrect installation of a product caused the product to be dangerous. Or, the product could be dangerous because it was assembled poorly or incorrectly. Anyone can be liable during the creation of a product so you may need to hire an attorney to see where the error happened.

For the most part, there are three different types of product defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects. In order to file a product liability case, you must prove that the product was defective, and that the defect caused your injuries. A design defect may happen if a product was poorly designed. Manufacturing defects can happen if a product was assembled incorrectly, or manufactured defectively. Marketing defects can cover a wide variety of things. If the safety warnings are not thorough enough, or if the instructions are too vague or missing, you may have a claim.

If you have questions about product liability, a qualified attorney can help you get answers. Thousands of people are injured every year due to faulty products and, oftentimes, large corporations do not want to spend the money to recall the products. This results in working class citizens across the country becoming injured because big businesses wanted to save a few dollars. These companies who make faulty products at the expense of their customers are hiring top attorneys to represent them in a case against you. If you have been injured by a company’s faulty product, you need a lawyer who will advocate for your rights. You need an attorney who will look out for you while big corporations are looking out for themselves.

“What Do Product Liability Attorneys Do?”

Product liability attorneys handle claims where people have been injured due to a dangerous or defective product. When defective products injure consumers, product liability lawyers work to recover compensation for consumers who have sustained injuries caused by an unreasonably dangerous product. Product liability lawyers help the consumer hold large corporations responsible for the injuries their products cause.

“Why Do We Need Product Liability Lawyers?”

When it comes to dangerous products, companies don’t always do the right thing. In fact, it’s not uncommon for companies to choose not to take action even when they know that there’s a chance their product is dangerous. In very large companies, they may have discovered that there is indeed a safety risk associated with their product. However, they’ve calculated the cost of the potential product liability lawsuits, and they’ve decided that it is likely cheaper to pay the product liability lawsuits than it is to recall the product. Unfortunately, product liability claims don’t always teach companies a lesson. But just knowing that they could be responsible for a product liability lawsuit typically motivates companies to do their best to create safe products.

“How Can People Afford a Product Liability Lawyer?”

A lot of people feel like a product liability lawyer is simply out of reach. However, our law firm believes that anyone can sustain serious injury due to a defective product. Therefore, everyone should have access to a product liability attorney. At Moxie Law Group, we offer a free consultation to any consumer who’s been injured by a defective product. During the consultation, the injured consumer tells us a bit about their injuries, and how the injuries happened. If we feel as though we can help, we’ll get started on your case right away. You don’t have to pay us anything upfront. At Moxie Law Group, our defective product lawyers work on contingency. This means that clients don’t have to pay them anything until they receive their settlement check. After they reach a settlement, a pre-negotiated portion of that settlement will cover the injury related expenses of the consumer who sustained injury due to the defective product. If you go all the way to court, but you lose your product liability lawsuit, you don’t have to pay us anything. This is called working on contingency. By doing this, our clients are able to file product liability claims without having to worry about how they’ll pay for their medical bills and other injury related expenses.

Experience Matters

Hiring an experienced product liability lawyer can help you get the compensation that you need in order to recover after a defective product has caused you injury. Just like some big corporations don’t do enough to protect the consumer, many law firms don’t do enough to protect their clients. When it comes to personal injury cases, some attorneys like to settle as quickly as possible, even when it isn’t in the best interests of the injury victims. At Moxie Law Group, our experienced lawyers are dedicated to acting in the best interest of all potential clients, even during the free consultation. If we think the initial settlement offer is the best offer, we’ll tell you that during the free consultation. If you were injured by a defective product, you deserve the best legal advice and the maximum compensation, and our attorneys what to do whatever they can to facilitate that.

When Defective Products Lead to Class Action Lawsuits

A class action lawsuit may occur when defective products injure multiple people, thus multiple people are asking for damages. Let’s say that a juice manufacturing company accidentally put drain cleaner in the juice boxes instead of juice. Now, many people were injured because of the defective products. When all of the people injured by these products get together and file a single lawsuit against the company, it’s called a class action lawsuit. These types of lawsuits are commonly seen in product liability litigation. When the same defective products injure many different people, product liability cases are likely to arise. Although these product liability cases can be tried separately, they may also be tried in a class action suit. If you have been injured, and you have questions about product liability litigation, it may be a good idea to contact an attorney.

Manufacturing Defect

Product liability or, sometimes known as products liability, has three distinct types of defects. A manufacturing defect occurs when something went wrong during the manufacturing of the product. In products liability claims, anyone can be held liable for injuries that were caused by their particular product. This means that the product manufacturer may be liable for unreasonably dangerous consumer products that they manufactured. Famously, General Motors had cars with ignition switches that would shut off the car’s engine while the car was driving. Because of this faulty ignition switch, cars would crash, but airbags wouldn’t inflate. A manufacturer may be liable if something goes wrong during the manufacturing of a product, causing significant injuries.

Design Defect

These types of defects occur when there’s something wrong with the design of a product. Let’s say that you hire an architect to design a house for you. You take all the precautions that a reasonable person would take, and you’re careful to reduce all safety risks. Yet, the house still collapses and seriously injures you. Who’s responsible for the faulty construction? Well, if there was something wrong with the way the house was designed, and that caused the house to collapse, the person who designed the house may be liable. Defects in a product’s design occur when there’s something about a product’s design that makes it unreasonably dangerous. Ready for another example of mass tort litigation? The Ford Pinto injured many people due to it’s poor design. When the car was rear-ended, it had a tendency to explode due to the placement of the gas tank.

Marketing Defect

Marketing defects occur when there are inadequate safety warnings, or instructions. Here’s a good example involving prescription drugs: let’s say you take an antihistamine. As you’re driving down the road, you become very tired and you crash your car into a pole! You’re seriously injured due to this crash that was caused by you falling asleep at the wheel. Well, if there weren’t any warning labels on the box to warn you that you might become drowsy by taking this medicine, that may be a marketing defect. McDonalds has a famous marketing defect where a woman sued them after she spilled coffee on herself. Apparently, the coffee was hot and the cups didn’t warn customers. But if you think this was just some lady trying make a quick million, think again: McDonald’s coffee was being served at a scorching 190 degrees. That’s hot enough to cause third degree burns in fewer than three seconds! In many cases, the makers of a product have a duty to ensure that consumers are properly warned of any safety concerns, and/or give adequate instructions on how to use the product.
