When the products you trust to function safely and properly hurt you or the people you love, the seasoned personal injury attorneys at D’Amico & Pettinicchi, LLC, can help you seek the justice and compensation you deserve.
Product liability claims involve a complex web of state and federal laws and regulations. There are also numerous people and entities who could potentially be to blame for the defect that caused your injury. Navigating this process requires a deep understanding of product liability law and legal strategy to ensure you have the best chance of recovering fair compensation. Let a Waterbury product liability lawyer help you throughout every step of the legal process.
Defective products can exist in any industry, from children’s toys to medical devices. Among the many types of product liability cases, these are just a few examples:
Products can be defective in three ways: design, manufacturing, and labeling. Design defects occur before the product is manufactured, and it is common for these types of errors to cause every item created based on the design to be defective.
Manufacturing defects occur when the product is being built or made. Labeling defects refer to items that fail to properly warn or instruct consumers. For example, missing safety labels or side effect warnings and unclear instructions could all be considered labeling defects. No matter the type of defect, our Waterbury product liability attorneys will help you hold the at-fault party accountable.
A claim must be made against the correct party, which is why identifying what type of defect caused your injury is a crucial step. It’s likely that design, manufacturing, and labeling defects could be caused by different people or entities. Your product liability lawyer can help you determine who is responsible for the error, including one or more of the following:
Because so many people and entities are typically involved in a product’s journey from inception to sale, it can be a daunting and challenging task for anyone unfamiliar with the process to identify who is at fault.
Knowing the value of the full extent of your injuries and other damages is important before you file your product liability claim. You may be eligible to claim a number of damages, including:
