The impact a malfunctioning or defective product can have on your life is undeniable. There have been countless cases where an innocent consumer has been injured or killed when a product they were using—the way it was meant to be used—malfunctioned.
Fortunately, when this happens, you have the opportunity to seek legal recourse for your suffering by filing a civil lawsuit against those liable for the cause of the defective product.

One of the good things about product liability cases is that there are quite a few individuals and entities that could be liable for your injuries. Almost anyone involved in the chain of distribution might be responsible for compensating you.
This could include those producing the parts that make up the product, the product itself, and anyone involved in the distribution of the product. Your attorney will thoroughly investigate what caused the product to be defective so the appropriate party is named as the defendant in your case.
