Q: When Is a Manufacturer Considered to be At-Fault?

A: Although American consumer goods are regulated by the federal government, there are situations in which a defective or malfunctioning product may reach the marketplace, injuring a consumer. In order to file a claim against the manufacturer, a claimant must prove that they were using the product appropriately, that the product was unsafe, and that the product was the cause of his or her injuries.

Even pharmaceutical companies can be negligent in the manufacture of their products and even intentionally mislead the public about what they can and cannot do. If you have sustained an injury or developed an illness after taking a defective pharmaceutical product, you may be able to seek financial compensation for the resulting damages.

As with many product liability suits, there can be some complications involved with establishing that these requirements have been met. To discuss your liability claim options, contact the Denver product liability lawyers of Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., by calling (303) 423-1770 today.
