We Can Help You Understand Products Liability Laws and Your Rights
Under state and federal laws as well as industry guidelines, manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products are safe before marketing them and selling them to consumers. If there are any reasonable dangers related to the product, the manufacturers and distributors must offer clear warnings. If they do not, they could be liable for injuries the product causes its users to suffer.
Our founding partner, Lawrence B. Green, has more than 40 years of experience fighting for the rights of injured clients and their families. We can handle any type of defective product or product liability case. This includes injuries that occur because:
- A product was poorly designed
- A product has a manufacturing defect
- A product has inadequate or absent instructions
- A product lacked appropriate warnings
For example, imagine you were using a power tool when it malfunctioned and injured your hand. As a result, you needed emergency surgery and missed several months of work. A products liability lawyer in Pittsburgh, PA can help build a case showing the product has a defect that caused your injuries and pursue compensation for the expenses and losses you suffered as a result.
