If you have been harmed while using a defective product in a reasonable manner, your injuries may not be your fault. Accordingly, you may be able to receive compensation from the party that is responsible – which may be a manufacturer, the product’s designer, a shipping company, or even a marketing team. In order to get the compensation to which you may be due, you may need to file a product liability claim against the party in question.
Preparing for such a claim requires extensive effort, as well as the kind of insightful legal knowledge that only comes with experience. The Denver product liability attorneys of Hull & Zimmerman, P.C. can help explain your legal options if you have been hurt by a defective consumer product. Call us today at (303) 423-1770.
Who Can File a Product Liability Claim?
Product designers and manufacturers are held to a higher standard of liability than the general public; in other words, a product liability claim is often more simple for the plaintiff than other forms of personal injury claims.
You may be eligible for compensation if the product that caused your injury was:
- Designed in a way that is inherently unsafe, even when used correctly
- Damaged during manufacture, shipping, or storage prior to being bought by you
- Sold without information about its risks and how to safely use it
- Advertised in a dangerously misleading way (false claims to be safe for children, etc)
- Used correctly or reasonably by you, and not modified after purchase
It is important to note that if you have discovered a potentially dangerous flaw in a product you bought, you must notify its manufacturer about the problem.
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.
Likewise, if you or someone you love has sustained an injury as a result of manufacturer’s defective product, it may be appropriate to pursue financial compensation through a legal action.
If you or your loved one has been harmed by a defective product, and this includes being harmed by a defective trailer hitch, or been involved in a vehicle accident that may have been caused by a motor vehicle defect, you may be able to pursue financial compensation.
