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:
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.
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:
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.
If you are considering filing a claim for your injuries or those of your loved one, it is important not to wait. Under Ga. Code § 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from when the right of action accrues. Special circumstances can shorten the two-year time frame to as little as six months or lengthen the time frame long past the standard two-year period. An accident victim must file the lawsuit and serve the defendant within this statute of limitations to preserve the right of compensation. Missing the deadline can result in losing the ability to recover damages no matter how strong the case may be. We can help determine whether an exception to the two year general limit applies to your case.
Even without a statute of limitations, acting quickly is important because it allows for evidence preservation and documentation of witness observations which can significantly strengthen a claim.

Here are questions we commonly get about product liability claims.
First, get medical attention for your own well-being. Your doctor’s records will also be essential evidence for your claim. Keep the product that injured you in a safe place, as it will be needed for your case. Contact a Roswell lawyer for product liability claims.
These types of claims are often settled with product makers and their insurance companies at the negotiating table. That is the goal of our product liability lawyers in Roswell when handling these cases. But if we cannot obtain a settlement offer that is fair to you, we will advocate forcefully for you in court.
It could take months or a year or more. Cases that settle typically resolve faster, while those that go to trial take longer. Our lawyers will seek to resolve your case as expeditiously as possible for the circumstances and while focusing on the outcome you need.
