Product Liability

Design, manufacture, and warnings

People search three theories without using those words: the product was designed badly, this one was built badly, or the warning was missing. Cars, batteries, tools, medical devices, and children’s products are the items that show up in local searches. A recall is something people attach. A recall is not required to ask for a referral.

Send the product name, the maker if you know it, the date you were hurt, and the state where it happened. Keep the product if you still have it. Do not throw it out while you are asking who should look at the file.

How this differs from a crash page

A car crash caused by a failed part can be both an accident claim and a product claim. Say that if a lawyer for the crash has already told you the part failed.

Nothing on this page is a prediction of what a case is worth, and it is not legal advice. A message asks the desk to review the facts and refer them.

What to send

Injuries from a product that broke or was unsafe. The product name and the date are enough for a referral.

The useful first facts are the place, the date, the court if there is one, and what happened. Records can wait until a lawyer asks for them.

How a referral works

A message asks the desk to read the facts and refer them to a lawyer who handles this work. It does not hire that lawyer, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

The lawyer who receives the introduction decides whether to take the matter and talks with you about deadlines and fees.
