Product Liability

The law requires that a consumer product meet the normal expectations of the user. The product fails to meet these expectations when ordinary use results in unexpected injury or death. In this case, the injured party is allowed to seek damages for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering under state and local statutes related to negligence, strict liability and breach of warranty. Additionally, all parties in the distribution chain may be held liable for a serious injury or death from product use, including the manufacturer, distributor and retailer.

It is extremely important to seek professional counsel regarding the particulars of handling a product liability case. At Durkin & Durkin, LLP, our product liability attorneys are experienced personal injury lawyers who know how to handle serious accident injury claims.
