Have you suffered an injury when using a product due to a defect? If so, an Atlanta product liability lawyer can help you get compensation for your losses including medical bills, lost income from work, property damage, and pain and suffering.
Manufacturers are responsible for the safety of their products when used correctly or misused in a reasonably foreseeable way. In those cases where the product has some inherent danger, the manufacturer should attempt to remove the danger, guard against the danger if removal is impossible, and always provide clear warnings of that danger. If manufacturers fail to follow these rules, and you or a loved suffers or someone dies, the manufacturer, designer, distributor, or salesperson of the product can often be held liable.
Injuries due to faulty products can be costly. The combination of medical expenses, lost wages and impact on your life can be considerable — in many instances, life changing. While manufacturers are responsible for the safety of their products, holding them liable can be challenging.
These organizations have vast resources, and you can find yourself up against corporations with fully-staffed legal departments and insurance companies with deep pockets. Time and time again, they offer lowball settlements and delay legal proceedings to convince you to accept settlements lower than those to which you are entitled. Many people simply walk away with nothing.
You do not want to embark on the legal process alone. As a layperson, you simply don’t have the knowledge, experience and time necessary to successfully manage a product liability lawsuit. This is where The Stoddard Firm can help. Consider what we bring to your case:

Companies constantly introduce new products. While there are certain standards these products are supposed to meet, the oversight to inspect each one is not available. There are not enough inspectors to determine whether every item is safe for consumers. Safety advocates also say that our current laws give far too much leeway to manufacturers in policing themselves.
Defective product stories are a regular occurrence. From dangerous Takata airbags to exploding lithium-ion batteries to defective medical devices, consumers constantly learn of new dangers that are dormant in the products they purchase. Many of these products are scrutinized and recalled only after damage has been done and consumers have suffered harm because of a defect.
While there may have been nothing you could have done to prevent your injury from a defective product, there are certain things you can do that will be helpful in proving your case.
First, seek immediate medical treatment. Your health and well-being must always be your priority. It is important to keep careful records of your injuries, physician visits, costs, and how you feel following an incident caused by a defective product. These notes provide valuable information to your Atlanta product liability lawyer and can help to substantiate the damages you claim.
Second, if possible keep the faulty item in your possession. Unfortunately, many product liability claims are lost before a lawyer is even contacted because someone destroys or throws away the product at issue. If you suspect a defective product caused your injury, it is imperative that you do everything in your power to ensure that the product involved is preserved and not altered until a lawyer has an opportunity to investigate.
Finally, contact a product liability attorney as soon as possible. Time is incredibly valuable, don’t wait to secure legal representation. The product liability lawyers at The Stoddard Firm appreciate your urgency and are available to schedule a free consultation immediately.

Our Atlanta Product Liability Lawyers Address Your Concerns
It is not unusual to have questions regarding a product liability case. The process can be intimidating and is confusing. Below we have shared some of the most common questions asked of our product liability attorneys.
Yes, you can seek relief if you used the product correctly and the defect and your injuries are due to the company’s negligence. Selling products at a discount or purchasing from a third party does not relieve companies of their safety responsibilities.
No. While your first instinct after being harmed by a defective product may be to protect yourself and your family by throwing it away, please don’t. This can hurt your case. Instead, keep the product in a safe area where no one can use it and contact our product liability attorneys immediately.
As your defective product attorney, our goal is to negotiate and settle with the company and their insurance company to get you fair compensation for the injuries you sustained. If they are unwilling to offer a fair settlement, we will represent you in court and fight tenaciously on your behalf.
This can be challenging. If you suffered harm, contact our product liability attorneys immediately so that we can begin an investigation that might identify other cases related to that product. We will consult with experts who can give you a determination.
Manufacturers have a duty to warn you about potential dangers associated with their products. These warnings have to be straightforward and easy to find. In short, you may have a case if you were unaware of potential hazards.
Don’t worry. You can bring a claim for personal damages or wrongful death if you were harmed by a product you did not buy yourself. The manufacturer is liable to people who use their products, not just those who purchase them.
Product liability cases can be very complex, and you may have additional questions as your case progresses. Our product liability attorneys pride themselves on being your partners against big corporations and easing your mind by addressing any concerns you have. Reach out to The Stoddard Firm today for a free consultation at 470-467-2200 or contact us online.
