- Product Liability
When you purchase a product, there is typically a reasonable expectation that the item will work as intended. When this is not the case, the results can range from minor malfunction to serious injury and harm. Unfortunately, this can occur in a host of different environments and at any given time, such as when using a tool to perform routine job duties or when playing with your children and their new toys. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic personal injury attorneys take a look at some recent trends in product liability matters and offer insight into what you may be able to do to receive the compensation you are owed.
Construction Tools and Equipment
Typically, any product with an undisclosed defect of some sort that causes harm to the consumer could be the subject of a product liability claim. Keep in mind, however, that the specifics of your situation play an important part in determining if you have a viable claim, the type of defect or improper warning present, and if all necessary elements to determine liability are met. This is why it is essential to speak with an experienced attorney to learn more about your options prior to filing your claim.
When looking at recent years in product liability matters, working in specific fields that utilize heavy machinery or equipment—such as oil and gas or construction—are at a higher percentage chance of enduring an injury related to the malfunctioning of a product. This could be due to the reliance on multiple products or equipment. If you or someone you know has been harmed as a result of malfunctioning equipment on the job site, contact a member of our team immediately.
Medical Devices and Pharmaceuticals
Another common category of products that can result in a product liability claim is pharmaceuticals or other medical devices. Medical devices and pharmaceuticals both have to go through the same Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process, and it may take several months or even years for designers and manufacturers to realize that the product could be linked to serious and even life-threatening side effects.
Baby Products and Items for Children
Baby products and children’s toys are also common products that can result in a liability matter. For instance, a small toy may be made improperly, or present a hazard such as choking, strangulation, or suffocation. These are only a few of the many instances that can occur and result in product liability claims. If your little one suffered an injury that you believe was caused by an unsafe product, it is best to get in touch with a product liability attorney as soon as possible.
