The Law on Defective Products

Although state laws on defective products may have some slight variations, they all have a common contention that for a defective product claim to be valid, the illness or injury must have resulted from using the product. Furthermore, the injury or illness was due to an absence or lack of warning messages or labels on the package.

As a consumer, you have the right to file a complaint or lawsuit against companies who manufactured or sold bad products or services.

How a Defective Product Lawyer Can Help You

Many companies will put up a good fight against your case in order to save their reputation. They also have all the resources to hire the best lawyers who can either disprove your case or arrange for a quiet settlement for less cost.

You should realize that in order for your complaint to be valid, there must be a direct connection between your injury and a specific defect in the product you used. You should be able to provide ample evidence to prove the connection.

Gathering pertinent information and testimonies to serve as evidence is easier said than done. This process takes a lot of time and effort on your end. And with the time delay, your condition will have already improved or disappeared completely, thus weakening your case against the manufacturer.

A defect product lawyer helps you gather facts of the case as quickly as possible. Typically, he can arrange with doctors for immediate medical examination, assessment and treatment of your condition. He can send specimens of the defective product to laboratories for detection of any signs of poisoning or violation of FDA quality standards.

The defective product lawyer also prepares all the paperwork and contacts the plaintiff regarding your case. He arranges meetings with the plaintiff whether in or out of court. He is the first party that the court or the plaintiff contacts for any developments. If the case is taken up in court, he arranges for courtroom appointments and act as spokesperson on your behalf. You need not be present in most of the appointments except as dictated by the court.

Where to Find a Defective Product Lawyer

Many law offices specialize in this area, so it is quite easy to locate a defective product lawyer in the yellow pages, local newspaper ads or the internet.

Your choice of a defective product lawyer depends on which state or city the incident of injury or illness had occurred.

You should also be resourceful in choosing the right defective product lawyer. Always choose someone who has a good reputation and proven track record, and does not charge you more than you could afford.
