Products Liability
Every day people are injured by various products from defective automobiles and children’s products to medical equipment and pharmaceutical products. The manufacturers and in some occasions the sellers of these products must make sure that the products are safe before placing them in the hands of consumers. However, many times they rush to get the product on the market or take a shortcut to save expenses, resulting in injury and sometimes death.
Most product liability cases are complex matters involving expert witness who can testify about the defective conditions of the products or the inadequate warnings based upon their experience, knowledge, training and education in that particular area of expertise. There are other complex issues like the statute of limitations, where to file the lawsuit, and who to name as parties to the lawsuit.
