When a manufacturing defect causes harm, victims can take legal action against the company. At Herschensohn Law Firm, PLLC, we have handled a variety of these claims and aren’t afraid to go up against billion-dollar corporations to secure justice for our clients. If you were harmed by a faulty product, our Seattle, WA product liability attorney will stand up for your rights and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
When a product is used properly and breaks or malfunctions, causing an injury, the manufacturer can be held liable for damages like medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. It is important to report faulty products because oftentimes the manufacturer isn’t aware of an issue. However, once a complaint is filed, a formal investigation begins, sometimes leading to product recalls, clearer instructions, or additional warning labels that prevent future accidents.
Common examples of product liability cases involve car parts, consumables, medical devices, toys, and equipment. In some situations, the design is flawed, leading to operational failure, choking hazards, or other dangerous situations. However, product liability also covers improper labeling or a lack of caution. One notable case is the McDonald’s coffee settlement, when a woman was severely burned when she spilled her hot coffee. She won her case because the jury found that the lack of a warning on the cup was negligent on McDonald’s part.
A key factor in product liability cases is proving that the item failed. Companies may try to label an incident as a user error to avoid responsibility. But our Seattle premises liability lawyer has an in-depth understanding of the law and isn’t intimidated by big companies, their insurers, or their lawyers. We believe in doing what is right, and that means standing up for victims of faulty products that caused them harm.
Many product liability cases involve huge corporations shielded by a major law firm. They don’t want the bad press of a story getting out that their products hurt someone. To make your case go away, their lawyer might pressure you to take a fast settlement. Once you accept compensation, you cannot bring another lawsuit, so it is imperative to have our experienced law firm representing your best interests. We will make sure you aren’t taken advantage of, and we will carefully calculate the extent of your damages so you don’t leave a dollar on the table.
