Product Liability

Product liability deals with the liability of the manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer of a product for injuries resulting from dangerous and defective products, such as automobiles, tires, appliances, furniture, tobacco, food, drugs, blood, medical devices and medical implants.

In a product liability claim, you must show that a manufacturer, seller, supplier, wholesaler or other party sold a defective and unreasonably dangerous product, resulting in injury to you.
Product liability can occur in:

designing, assembling, producing, constructing or otherwise placing a defective product in the stream of commerce;
failing to anticipate probable uses of the product;
failing to inspect or test the product adequately;
issuing no (or inadequate) warnings or instructions; or
any other aspect of the manufacturing or distribution process that exposes a user to a defective product.

Our mission in pursuing product liability cases is to obtain just compensation for our injured clients and to create an economic incentive for companies to produce safe products and provide sufficient warning of the dangers of their products. The damages the consumer is entitled to receive in a dangerous or defective product case include compensation for:

Medical expenses;
Lost wages;
Loss of physical ability;
Pain, suffering, mental anguish; and,
Punitive damages

Whether dealing with a manufacturing flaw or defect, a design flaw or defect, or where a product is unreasonably dangerous because of inadequate instructions or warnings, we ensure that the family and heirs of deceased consumers receive fair treatment under Connecticut law for injuries caused by dangerous and defective products. Whenever an injury occurs, it is important and essential to promptly investigate the accident, preserve evidence, and file a lawsuit prior to the expiration of the appropriate statute of limitations. If you have questions or concerns about injuries suffered through the use of a dangerous or defective product, please contact us today. We offer free initial consultations and work on a contingency fee basis.
