PRODUCT LIABILITY

When a faulty product seriously injures you, it can result in pain and suffering, loss of income and future employment, and significant healthcare expenses.

Every day we use products at home and work that are meant to be safe.

Designers, manufacturers, sellers and others have responsibilities for ensuring that their products aren’t defective or dangerous. Lerners product liability lawyers have the experience and knowledge to investigate the cause of injuries resulting from faulty products and, where negligence is found, to prove it.

We investigate who can be held responsible for your injuries and secure compensation that allows you to focus on what’s most important: your recovery.

Product Liability cases involve dangerous and defective products like:

Fire equipment that explodes and burns, such as outdoor firepits, barbecues, lighters and heaters

Recreation equipment including trampolines, amusement rides and playground structures that physically wound or maim

Household chemicals that poison, injure
or kill

Products that are marketed without adequate warnings relating to potential hazards and misuse.

Protective equipment that fails to protect people, such as helmets, air bags, and child seats

Hidden defects such as toxic materials or unsanitary manufacturing processes

We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll of serious injuries.

You need someone you can trust who will provide legal advice and prioritize your recovery.

Our team is here for you.
