Defective Products

The Personal Injury attorneys at Berger and Green are experienced in Product Liability law and are ready to help you take legal action if you have been injured by a defective or unsafe product.

Berger and Green also handles cases involving injuries resulting from defective or unsafe products, which are also known as Product Liability claims.  A variety of products can fall under Product Liability, including food, medicines, toys, furniture, automobiles, and household or industrial equipment.  People injured by a defective product can be entitled to compensation for their injuries if they were using the product correctly and were seriously hurt as a result.

There are three types of Product Liability cases: 1) The product was not designed properly; 2) The product was manufactured with a defect; and 3) Inadequate instructions were included with the product and failed to warn consumers about possible defects.  In these cases, if you are injured while using an unsafe product the way that it was intended, the manufacturer of the product as well as the store that sold it can be held liable for your injuries.  Manufacturers are responsible for making their products as safe as possible for consumers and they, along with any stores the carry their products, must warn the public of all danger that can result from using the product.

If you have been injured by a defective or unsafe product, then you have the right to seek legal action.  Be sure to do the following:

• Save the defective product, along with any manuals or instructions that came with it.  Do NOT throw it away or destroy it.
• Keep a record of all information about the product, including where and when it was purchased.
• Take photos of the product itself, of all injuries sustained, and of the scene of the accident.
• Get the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any witnesses.
