How a Roswell Product Liability Attorney Will Handle Your Case
Proving a product liability claim is a complex task. It is the last thing you should try to undertake yourself after suffering a burn injury, brain injury, or other serious harm from a consumer product. You will stand the best chance of winning with the help of a skilled product liability lawyer from Roswell.
There are three general categories of liability claims. They include the following:
- Defective manufacturing — An error occurred during manufacturing that led some products coming off the assembly line to be defective and malfunction.
- Defective design – The flaw is designed into the product, which means every product in that same line will be faulty and potentially dangerous.
- Failure to warn – The maker failed to instruct consumers how to properly use the product or to warn about possible hazards of its foreseeable use.
Our attorney will seek to prove the company was negligent in designing, manufacturing, or warning about their product. To do so, we will work to show that the product was defective at the time your injury occurred, you used the product as intended by the maker, the defect directly caused your injury, and you sustained damages.
During the legal process, we will handle all paperwork and communications with the at-fault party, and keep you informed through every step. We want you to focus on recovery.
Number of Product Liability Injuries
National Safety Council data shows that in a single year there were over 12.7 million emergency room visits for injuries caused by consumer products. This figure is even more astounding because it does not include visits to urgent care facilities or doctors’ offices.
The products most often responsible for injuries according to the NSC include:
- Stairs, ramps, landings, and floors
- Beds, pillows, and mattresses
- Chairs, sofas, and sofa beds.
There are numerous other products that cause injuries. Some of them are children’s toys, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, household appliances, cleaning solutions and gardening chemicals, and machinery and tools used in the workplace and at home.
You have turned to the right place when you contact our firm. Whatever product caused your injury or illness, our lawyers will stand up for your interests.
