Helping Consumers Hurt By Dangerous Products
Suffering an injury due to a bad product is a consumer’s nightmare. You spent your hard-earned money on something you need in your life, and now it has left you with costly medical bills. Where do you turn to seek recovery and compensation?
Donner Applewhite, advocates for consumers who are hurt by dangerous and defective products. If you are injured due to a defective product, you may not be the only person affected. You may file a products liability lawsuit, or you may pursue a class action lawsuit in which fellow victims use their collective power to obtain a larger settlement.
What Should Consumers Know About The Law?
Products liability is different than a traditional personal injury claim, and sometimes this can work in your favor as an injured consumer. Liability for your injury can rest with any one of the parties in the product chain, including the manufacturer, the assembler, the wholesaler or the retailer.
The cause of an injury is especially important because it can come from a number of sources, including:
-
- The product’s design (poor product design created a safety hazard)
- A manufacturer’s defect (a loose part created a safety hazard)
- A marketing defect (consumers weren’t aware of safety hazard)
At Donner Applewhite, our lawyers’ personalized attention to your needs allows them to focus on the small details of your case that can have a significant effect on your compensation. They will investigate the cause of your injury and determine an effective legal strategy to obtain recovery and compensation for you.
