Defective Product Lawyers
Mobile, Alabama
Consumers have an expectation that the products they purchase will not cause illness or injury when used correctly. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case.
While consumers don't have recourse in cases of obvious misuse or in which the customer knowingly assumes the risk, manufacturers, retailers, and other sellers can often be sued for damages caused by defective products.
See our Product Liability page for a detailed explanation of how defective product cases are handled, or, if you'd like to schedule your free, personal consultation with one of our attorneys, call us today.
Frequently Asked Questions: Defective Products
What if a defective product injures me?
Much like medical malpractice cases, these cases are very expensive and difficult to litigate. Because of this, the injury must be very severe to warrant taking the case.
The single most important thing to remember about a defective product case is to preserve the evidence. In order to have a successful defective product case, you must keep the defective product in the exact condition it was in immediately after the defect occurred. The product cannot be altered from this state under any circumstances. If it is altered, your case will be significantly more difficult.
That is why it is so important to contact an attorney as soon as possible after a defective product causes an injury. Under no circumstances should you let anyone from the defective product's manufacturer or their insurance company look at the product before you have contacted an attorney.
What are the types of defective product claims?
There are three general categories of defective product claim: Design defect, manufacturing defect, and marketing defect. See our Product Liability page for detailed descriptions of these different types of claim.
