Product liability occurs when the use of a product results in illness, injury, or death. Consumers trust manufacturers to make safe products. That trust is broken when safety protocols are ignored in a rush to get a product to market.
Victims of defective products or dangerous drugs should not pay out of pocket for their medical costs. They should also receive compensation for their lost wages and pain and suffering.
Fighting a product liability case alone is complex and challenging. A Sandy Springs product liability lawyer can represent you and protect your best interests against large manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and their insurance companies.
When not implemented, government regulations regarding consumer product safety place product and medication users at risk for severe harm. Burns, broken bones, or a side effect causing cancer are examples of how your life can change forever.
Careful design and product warnings are vital for consumer safety. The following list contains a few examples of when product liability can occur:
Many liable parties or their insurers attempt to blame victims for their own injuries or illnesses, such as by misusing a product, to avoid paying compensation to victims. Protecting their best interests is paramount for preserving the company’s profits and product sales.
If you suspect that you suffered harm due to a defective product or dangerous drug, contact a Sandy Springs product liability lawyer today. Your lawyer will protect your best interests and manage your case for you.

A Georgia product liability lawyer answers frequently asked questions.
Strict liability allows victims to prove a product is defective without having to prove negligence. Victims must only prove the product’s defects caused their injuries.
Georgia law generally allows two years for claims involving injury to persons. Once the statute of limitations expires, it is generally impossible to file your lawsuit. The twenty-four-month period begins at the moment of injury. There can be exceptions making this period longer or shorter.
