Who Can Be Held Liable for Defective Household Product Injuries and Fatalities in Atlanta & Marietta?
Household products are typically called “consumer products” in the legal world, and are made by
companies that are responsible for ensuring their products are safe for their intended use. All too often, we find that this is not the case. Companies will cut safety corners for the sake of the bottom line — sometimes at the expense of their customers.
At Ashby Thelen Lowry, our Georgia personal injury lawyers work with engineers and experts to understand how a product was defective and to find out if the defect caused our clients’ injuries. Then, we fight to make sure that you get the compensation you deserve for the medical bills, lost wages, scarring, disfigurement, and pain and suffering caused by a defective product.
That may include pursuing the:
When a product is defective from the design stage there is a foreseeable risk that originates before an error can occur in the manufacturing process. This makes the product defective from the onset of its existence, thereby making the designer liable for injuries or fatalities that result.
When a product contains a manufacturing defect, it is often due to the company that produces the item deviating from its intended design specifications or performance standards. If this is true, the manufacturer may be held liable for our clients’ injuries.
The failure to adequately warn consumers of a reasonably foreseeable danger or the overall lack of critical warning labels and/or instructions on the product can make it unsafe for normal use and may lead to significant injuries or even death.
