CASE DESCRIPTION:

From teddy bears to yachts, any product that causes harm and suffering due to negligence, defect or breach of warranty.

Pharmaceutical companies that recall their medications are seeking to lessen the number of product liability suits that are filed against them. The same goes for children's toys that contain a harmful element. Product liability claims can be filed for the following reasons:

• Design – the way the product was designed has made it dangerous – whether it's the product itself or its packaging.

• Instructions – the instructions included with the product fail to warn the user of possible dangers or the consequences of improper use.

• Manufacturing – there is some material used in the product that has made it dangerous; faulty wiring, poor construction, etc.

Hazardous or inadequately labeled products can be found almost everywhere and people who are injured because of a defective or unreasonably dangerous product deserve to be compensated for their injuries.

Each state has a different definition of what constitutes product liability, and there is a statute of limitations for filing a product liability lawsuit. However, if you've been injured or have become sick because of a malfunctioning product of any kind, please do not hesitate to contact us. We'll review your case and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Under product liability law, anyone in the distribution chain can be held liable for a dangerous or defective product, including the manufacturer, a manufacturer of component parts, the wholesaler and the retail store that sold the product.

At Ernest Holzberg & Associates, we represent people who have been injured due to defective product design, defective manufacturing, inadequate labeling and product warnings, misuse by a third party, recalls and other foreseeable factors.
