Understanding product liability is not just about knowing when you can make a claim; it's about understanding that there is a web of accountability for manufacturers, retailers, and other parties involved in getting a product into your hands. Our team is dedicated to unveiling the mysteries behind these claims, and we're doing it with clear, easy-to-grasp explanations because everyone deserves to know their rights.

Manufacturing defects happen when something goes wrong during the production process. The item is not made correctly, and as a result, it could break easily, not work as it should, or even be dangerous. Imagine buying a bicycle helmet that snaps on impact-instead of protecting, it betrays! We help our clients understand how to identify these defects and how to make a claim if they've unfortunately been affected by one.

If you've got a product that didn't measure up because of its surprising flaws, let's talk. We're here to help you determine if you have a manufacturing defect on your hands and what steps to take next. It could mean the difference between feeling helpless and getting the justice you deserve.

Design defects are all about a flaw in the product's blueprint. From the get-go, there's something in the design that could cause harm. Imagine a toy designed for toddlers that has small, easily swallowable parts. It's an accident waiting to happen, and that's what design defect claims focus on. If a product's design is inherently unsafe, those who've been harmed may have a claim.

At Lawyer Matchmaker, we're skilled in digging into the blueprints and uncovering these potentially dangerous oversights. Your safety and well-being are our top concerns, and we stand ready to guide you through the process of holding designers accountable for their potentially harmful designs.

Every product should come with adequate warnings and instructions. This type of claim, known as "failure to warn", arises when consumers are not properly informed about the risks of using a product. A common example is medication without clear dosage instructions or warnings about potential side effects. Without this vital information, users are quite literally left in the dark about how to use the product safely.

When products stay silent on their risks, it's our job to speak up. We'll examine every word, or the lack thereof, on your product's label or instruction manual to evaluate if there's a valid failure to warn claim.

  • Inadequate instructions that lead to misuse of the product
  • Missing labels that fail to highlight potential hazards
  • Unclear warnings that do not effectively communicate the risks

If any of these sound familiar, don't stay silent. Our experienced team is just a call away at 888-982-0292, ready to listen and guide you through your options.

It may not always be about injury. Sometimes a product's failure leads only to financial loss. Known as purely economic loss, this legal concept can be complex, but don't worry; we can navigate these murky waters together. Whether it's a faulty appliance that spikes your energy bills or software that crashes your business computer, we've got the expertise to help.

We understand that not all damages can be seen, but they can certainly be felt in your pocket. Let us help you understand when a product's failure warrants a claim for purely economic loss.

The chain of distribution is like a river that products travel down from makers to consumers. Each 'stop' along this river-manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers-has a responsibility for the safety of the products. But sometimes, one or more of them drops the ball. That's when product liability claims can come into play.

Chasing down who is responsible in this chain can be confusing, but we're here to put on our detective hats and help get to the bottom of it. Creating a safe and accountable chain of distribution is paramount for consumer protection, and it's a task we don't take lightly.

Warranties are promises. They assure you that a product will work as it's supposed to. But when a product falls short of these promises, it's known as a warranty breach. It can be as simple as a waterproof watch that's afraid of water or a laptop that fails well before its time. A breach of warranty can be grounds for a claim, and we're here to enforce these broken promises.

Don't let broken promises slide. Whether implied or explicit, a warranty is a shield for your investments. If you think that shield has been unfairly shattered, give us a call at 888-982-0292. We honor our promise to advocate for your rights.

Strict liability means that it doesn't matter how much care was taken during the product creation or distribution process. If a product is found to be defective and causes harm, those in the chain of distribution could be held responsible. It's a tough but crucial part of product liability law that emphasizes the importance of consumer safety above all else.

We take strict liability seriously because it's all about protecting people. No excuses, no passing the blame. If you've been hurt by a defective product, know that the law is on your side, and so are we. We're just a call away from starting the process to seek the accountability you deserve.

Second-hand doesn't mean second-rate rights. Yes, even with products that aren't fresh out of the box, you may have claims if you're harmed by them. It's a lesser-known part of product liability, but our team believes you should be armed with this knowledge, too. Just because you snagged a deal at a garage sale doesn't mean you've signed away your safety.

We're debunking myths every day. Used products can still be subject to liability claims if they were sold with inherent defects or without proper warnings. Your thriftiness should never come at the cost of your well-being.

Shared ownership of products, like those in a timeshare or co-op, can blur the lines of liability. It can be tricky to identify who is responsible if a product causes harm, but that doesn't mean you're without options. Multiple parties could share liability, and sorting out that web is something we specialize in. You're entitled to safety, no matter how ownership is sliced.

Whether jointly owned or borrowed, liability isn't something we overlook. Complexities in shared ownership claims are just puzzles waiting to be solved, and we love a good puzzle. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're caught in such a situation-we're here to clarify and pursue your claim.

Product recalls can be the canary in the coal mine, signaling potential hazards. If a manufacturer issues a recall, it's often because they've identified a safety issue. But what if you're harmed before the recall, or worse, never informed about it? Recalls can lead to liability claims, and we can assist you in understanding how they might affect your case.

Are you part of a product recall? It might be more than just an inconvenience-it could be a sign of a deeper issue. And if that issue has already caused you harm, we're prepared to roll up our sleeves and dive into the details of your potential claim.
