Associated Injuries
with product defect accidents
Burns can cause extreme pain, infection, disfigurement, and other complications.
Defective products may inflict serious amounts of force to your body. When your body can no longer handle that force, your bones break. Products that break unexpectedly may lead to broken bones.
Choking occurs when a foreign object blocks the airway and may lead to serious injury or death.
Defective power equipment or cutting tools may cause amputation, leading to serious injury.
A soft tissue injury is damage to the body’s connective tissues. These injuries may be painful and leave you unable to function.
Product Defect Attorneys in Los Angeles
Put Expertise to Work for You
Every buyer deserves to get products that are safe and work well. If an item hurts someone or breaks something when it’s used right, the company that made it, the one that sent it out, or the store that sold it might have to answer for the harm done.
Many things decide if you can make a claim, but most things you buy that are broken fit into a few groups. A good lawyer in Los Angeles who knows about broken products can help you get the money that’s fair for you.
We manage issues related to:
- Production defects
- Errors in design
- Missing safety guidance or directions.
Production Defects
A product has a manufacturing flaw if it’s not like most items from the same company, leading to harm. It shows that it’s just one or a few products with issues. That’s why claims about these defects are common in product safety cases.
Some instances are a drug mistakenly mixed with a harmful ingredient, a car’s brake system put in wrong or not at all, or a broken fence link that makes the fence weak and lets it snap, causing harm or injury. With a lot of experience, you should know the early warning signs of faulty products.
Errors in Design
Claims of design defects are not as frequent but have broader implications compared to those of manufacturing defects. Products with design flaws were never right, suggesting that selling several could be risky for consumers. This also indicates that more people or groups might be held accountable for any harm that occurs.
People who make products, like designers or testers, and even the company that asked for the product, can all be responsible if the product can hurt someone because it wasn’t designed safely. Often, many people who get hurt will sue together, which can lead to the product being taken off the shelves and the company having to pay money to those people. For example, a car that flips over too quickly or an electric blanket that can give someone an electric shock or burns could have this problem.
Missing Safety Guidance or Directions
Products may sometimes be risky if we don’t use them correctly. That’s why it’s essential for the company that makes the item to give buyers the details they need to stay safe and avoid getting hurt when using it. To take this seriously, the item must have some hidden danger that an average person wouldn’t notice. Plus, any harm or problems should come straight from misusing the product because there wasn’t enough good advice on using it safely.
If a product doesn’t have instructions or safety notes but hasn’t hurt anyone, you usually can’t ask for money. You could tell the makers about the problem, so no one else gets hurt later.
We can look into what happened to determine if someone else’s carelessness affected your injuries.
Creating a Case
To make a complaint, you need to prove that:
-
You were hurt or had something damaged. As said before, there must be actual harm or loss to have a case. There must be more than the risk of getting hurt to ask for payment or start a claim.
-
A defect was the reason. That flaw or lack of clear guidance must have been the reason for any hurt or harm to happen. It's essential to show that the product was used just as the instructions said when someone got hurt or something got damaged. You can get hurt if you don't use things the way they're supposed to be used. This makes it hard to prove that the problem was because of the product. That's why you have to be able to show that the injury wasn't because someone didn't use it right.
-
The item was used correctly. It's necessary to prove that the product was used correctly when someone gets hurt or something gets broken. If you don't use things as they're supposed to be, you can get hurt, making it challenging to show the product is to blame. That's why it's essential to show the injury didn't happen because it was misused.
