Common Legal Questions About Defective Products in Boca Raton
What is a defective product claim and/or product liability?
If you suffer any type of injury due to a product that you used, you may be able to recover financial compensation for your injuries. When you purchase a product, you trust that it was manufactured and tested properly so that it is safe and reliable for use.
Unfortunately thousands of people are injured every year from products that malfunction or have manufacturing defects.
If you have suffered an injury or other damages due to a product you used, you may have grounds for a defective products or product liability claim.
Why should I consider a defective product liability claim?
Besides the fact that you should be fairly compensated for any injuries or damages you have incurred because of a product failing to perform at the assumed level of safety, we believe there is an ethical obligation to bring attention to this issue.
The company with the faulty product should be held responsible and required to make changes to the product to prevent anyone else from being injured.
What are some types of product liability cases?
Unfortunately, the list for defective product liability cases is truly endless. Most often, defective products are due to three different causes:
- Manufacture defect – a mistake in the manufacturing process before the point of purchase
- Defective designs – although properly manufactured, the original design was dangerous and can put an entire product line at fault, versus one specific product.
- Lack of adequate warnings or instructions – the company fails to warn the consumer of proper use and misuse of its products that are deemed dangerous and result in injury.
In our experience, we have seen the following situations far too many times:
- Gas grill lighters exploding
- Faulty break and airbag systems in automobiles
- Electronic device malfunctions that cause burns and lacerations
- Vape pen explosions from batteries
Who can be held responsible for injuries caused by a defective product?
Liability for a product defect could fall on various levels of the product’s chain of distribution, including the product manufacturer and the manufacture of its component parts, the wholesaler and even the retail store at the consumer’s purchase.
We know it can be overwhelming when determining liability, so our attorneys at Eltringham Law Group will handle this process for you.
How long do I have to make a claim for a defective product?
Typically, lawsuits involving defective products must be filed within four years from the date of the incident. However, every situation is unique and may fall under a different statute.
Therefore it’s best you speak with one of our experienced attorneys at Eltringham Law Group to determine your best course of action.
If I am injured by a product that was recalled, do I still have a case?
A product recall should not significantly affect your case as the recall itself acknowledges that there was a defect in design, manufacturing or other causes.
Our attorneys have the experience to help you get compensation and justice you deserve, despite the recall on a product.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to a defective product, it’s important to find an attorney you can trust. We offer free consultations, during which we will discuss the details of your case and will help you determine whether you have a valid claim.
