Defective Products

Defective products are responsible for millions of injuries, deaths, and instances of property damage each year in the U.S. and around the world. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the medical bills and property costs due to defective products amount to some $700 billion each year in the U.S. Defective products are a concern to all consumers.

Legal Action

When a defective product has harmed you or your family member, you have legal recourse—you can take action to obtain compensation for your losses. Our firm represents individuals and families who have been injured by defective products, and we understand the anxiety that people face when they’ve been severely and unexpectedly hurt. The financial consequences of these injuries can be overwhelming.

Product Liability Law

Injuries and wrongful deaths due to defective products are dealt with as part of product liability law. Our skilled Massachusetts product liability lawyers protect the legal rights of the victims of defective products such as:

• Motor vehicle components, including seat belt failures
• ATVs (all-terrain vehicles)
• Medicines and drugs
• Medical devices
• Personal watercraft
• Consumer products such as appliances

The Liable Parties

The designer, manufacturer, distributor, and/or seller of a defective product may be liable for the injury or death of a consumer of the product. However, these parties are usually corporations that have the resources to fight a product liability claim, and it takes an experienced and skilled legal team to advance the rights of the injured.

In addition, in some cases the person who was injured or killed may have been responsible in part for the accident. This in itself will not necessarily preclude the possibility of legal action by the injured party. The unique circumstances of each defective product case must be considered by a knowledgeable plaintiffs' attorney.
