How Can I Determine Whether I Have a Case Against a Manufacturer, Retailer or Designer For a Defective Product?

Although a retailer did not manufacture or distribute an item, you can hold it responsible for a defective product if it advertises the item for sale. Your defective product attorney will review your case, including your medical records and the product, and can let you know whether you can sue a manufacturer, retailer, designer, or all three of the entities.

The type of defect, whether a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn, may play a part in which entities you can sue.

What Steps Should I Take If a Defective Product Has Injured Me?

Save the defective product. Take photos of the injury it caused. Always seek medical attention, even if you believe your injuries are minor. You cannot recover damages unless you can show you have injuries. Once you receive medical attention, contact a product defect attorney immediately. It is best to consult a product defect attorney before you complete medical treatment, as product defect cases have a statute of limitations. If the statute runs, you won’t be able to take legal action.
