San Antonio Defective Product Lawyer

If you, a family member, or someone you know has been seriously injured, or someone you know died as a result of using a particular product, you should contact our San Antonio defective product lawyers today.

Cases on product liability require significant resources in order to take on large manufacturers and corporations that are responsible for defective products. 

Whether you buy something from a big-box retailer, mid-size market, outlet store, mall, or small grocery store, you expect the product to be safe. However, sometimes you may buy a product that injures you, and product liability and defective product law dictates who is responsible for your injuries. 

In what ways may a product be found legally defective?

1.  Defective Design 

For example, the manufacturer of a lawn mower or other piece of heavy equipment is responsible for warning the consumer of the foreseeable dangers of using the product. This includes the necessity of warning against roll over dangers, the need for proper safety gear, or any other type of warning that is traditionally seen on the decal accompanying various products. 

If you think you have been injured from a defective product, call our product liability lawyers to schedule a free consultation.

2.  Defective Manufacturing  

        In some instances, a faulty manufacturing procedure will result in the creation of a defective product despite a safe design. For instance, some years ago, a number of hip replacement surgery patients began to experience gruesome and agonizing complications after their new hip was installed. After much turmoil and investigation, it was discovered that during the manufacturing of the hip, as a result of the manufacturer cutting corners too save a few bucks, the artificial hip was not being adequately cleaned after it was machined. This resulted in many patients experiencing rejection; many patients were left agonizing after the brutal and bogglingly expensive operation. 

If you think you have been injured from a defective product, call our product liability attorneys to schedule a free consultation.

3.  Defective Marketing  

Sometimes, a company will provide inadequate instructions with their product. A company has the legal duty to provide clear safety instructions that are easily understood by the general public. A company must also adequately warn consumers of the dangers of using the product. 

For example, the manufacturer of a lawn mower or other piece of heavy equipment is responsible for warning the consumer of the foreseeable dangers of using the product. This includes the necessity of warning against roll over dangers, the need for proper safety gear, or any other type of warning that is traditionally seen on the decal accompanying various products. 

If you think you have been injured from a defective product, call our product liability lawyers to schedule a free consultation.

Who may sue? 

Anyone who has been injured from a defective product, including you, your family, and your friends.

Bystanders may also sue for their own injuries. Additionally, bystanders who are not injured may bring a claim if they witness a close family member sustaining an injury. The spouse and children of an injured party may also bring a claim for the loss suffered by a love one.

Who may be sued?

The place from where you purchased the product, the company that made or designed the product, and even the company that advertised the product may be legally held responsible for your injuries. These companies may be legally liable even if the product was loaned to you or given as a gift.
