Whether your child was put at risk of lead poisoning from defective toys made in China or was injured by a dangerous drug, we can help. We can also help you learn how to keep your child safe from accidental injuries at home. Please visit our accident prevention page for more information.
Any organization involved in producing or distributing a dangerous product may be held responsible for the injuries the product causes. Our attorneys will analyze your case to determine all possible sources of financial compensation, including the manufacturer, the parts vendor, the distributor and the retailer.
Types of Product Defects
A product can be defective in a number of ways. The defect may be in the original design of the product. A flaw in the manufacturing process may account for the defect. Marketing defects include products that are mislabeled, lack proper warnings or have been falsely advertised.
In all dangerous product cases, it is important to secure the evidence as soon as possible. Do not attempt to fix the product, and do not destroy it or return it to the manufacturer. The dangerous product must be maintained in the condition it was when it harmed your child.
We have a long record of success in product liability lawsuits. If your child was injured by a dangerous or defective toy or other product, you can rely on us to pursue full compensation for the damages your family has suffered.
