Consider Brent Coon & Associates if you need representation for a client injured by a defective product. We have the resources and knowledge to help during a difficult time

Although any manufactured product can be defective, some products are more likely to cause injury or death when they sold with a defect. Our lawyers have handled cases involving products such as:

  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Microwave ovens
  • Tires
  • Infant and child car seats
  • Toys
  • Airbags
  • Seatbelts
  • Vehicles that are not crashworthy because of sidewall defects
  • Vehicles that are subject to rollovers
  • Helicopter blades
  • Lawn and garden tools
  • Playground equipment
  • Medical devices such as defective defibrillators

Defects in products like these have included poor design, weak or incorrect parts, inaccurate or missing instructions, and incomplete assembly during manufacturing. We have also been involved in drug recall cases and other matters where a recall of a defective product was not done in a timely way.

Because defects can be introduced into the product at different times, identifying the source of the defect that caused injury can often be difficult. In addition to difficulties determining where the defect was introduced, product liability law in the United States is a patchwork, with each state having its own laws. Claims may be based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty, depending on the jurisdiction. Our law firm has the resources to investigate product defect cases and the knowledge of different state laws to bring an effective products liability claim for your client.
