Product Liability

A dangerous or defective product is one that injured you in some way-be it physical or emotional. This injury could be the result of a defect in the product itself, the product's labeling, or the lack of adequate labeling.

Products that could be potentially dangerous or defective cover an array of items, including ones that are:

• Consumed (food and drinks)
• Used to clean
• Played with
• Used for cosmetic/aesthetic purposes
• Used for hygiene
• Medical appliances or devices
• Prescribed by doctors or sold over the counter

It can take days, months, even years to realize that a product is dangerous or defective. And by that time, traumatic and irreversible results may have ensued.

The designer, manufacturing company and any other party involved in the distribution and sale of that product should be held liable for your injuries.

If you were injured by a defective product, you can argue your case based on different theories such as:

Negligence-when one party's careless is responsible for your injury. If a manufacturer failed to adequately test the product, for example.

Strict liability-when the product is simply defective and causes you harm while you are using it as intended. If the blade of a lawnmower comes loose and lacerates your leg while you were cutting the grass, for example, that product is defective.

Breach of implied warranty-when the product is believed to be unfit for its intended purpose, even though there is no express warranty.

If you are one of a group of people who have all been similarly injured by the same faulty product(s), you should consider starting a class action lawsuit to collect damages.

If you or a loved one has been injured because of a dangerous of defective product in Lansing, Flint, Saginaw or Traverse City, or anywhere in Michigan, we can help you receive the compensation you deserve.
