When we buy a product at the store or order it online, we expect that it will work as intended, but if it doesn’t, it still won’t harm us. Unfortunately, thousands of people each year are injured due to malfunctioning or poorly designed products. If you were hurt because something you used as intended broke or malfunctioned, you may be eligible for a large settlement. Our Roanoke, VA product liability lawyer can tell you more. Call Mark Hurt Law Firm today for a consultation.
The U.S. government sets strict safety requirements for consumer goods manufacturers and requires specific safety testing and warning labels before goods can be released to the public for purchase. But many companies cut corners with testing and product safety review, placing profitability over consumer safety. When a product malfunctions and causes injury, or is contaminated and makes someone sick, it is often due to the manufacturer’s negligence. Product liability claims hold negligent manufacturers, designers, and retailers responsible for the harm caused by their defective products. Our Roanoke product liability lawyer can help you file your claim and demand that the product manufacturer and other negligent parties take accountability for your injuries.
The defect that caused your injury could be due to a flawed design, a manufacturing issue in a specific batch, damage during shipping, or improper storage at the retailer, such as perishable items kept at unsafe temperatures. Our legal team examines how your product was manufactured and the route it took to you to identify how the defect occurred and who is liable.
Once we’ve identified the defendants and their degree of liability, we recommend the best legal course of action. This may include filing an individual lawsuit, pursuing a class action or mass tort representing multiple injured individuals, or joining an existing class or tort case. We fight for your rights and seek full compensation for medical bills and other losses. With extensive resources and decades of combined experience, we litigate in civil court or negotiate fair settlements, always focused on getting you every penny you deserve.
Defendants in product liability cases are often large, national corporations with entire legal departments at their disposal focused on preventing injured people like you from winning a lawsuit. Let our experienced, knowledgeable Roanoke product liability lawyer even the playing field for you. We know how to build a strong case against a tough, powerful defendant, and we’re not afraid of a challenge.
If you or someone you love has been injured due to a flawed, broken, contaminated, or malfunctioning consumer product, call Mark Hurt Law Firm to learn more about your legal options.
