Defective products refer to goods that are flawed, unsafe, or improperly labeled, leading to injury, harm, or loss for the consumer. When a product fails to meet safety standards or does not function as intended, it can result in serious consequences for users, prompting legal action under product liability laws. A Hemet defective products lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured or harmed by products that are flawed, dangerous, or inadequately labeled. Our attorneys will be able to assist you or your family members in the event of an injury caused by a defective product.

What Does A Defective Products Lawyer Do?

1. Case Evaluation: Assess the details of your injury and the product involved to determine if you have a viable product liability claim.
   Investigate whether the product had a design defect, manufacturing flaw, or insufficient warnings that contributed to the harm.
2. Gathering Evidence: Collect and analyze evidence such as product specifications, safety reports, recall information, and expert testimony.
   Document your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages related to the defective product.
3. Legal Representation: File a lawsuit on your behalf against the manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or other parties responsible for the defective product.
   Handle all legal proceedings, including discovery, negotiations, and, if necessary, trial.
4. Negotiate settlements to compensate for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other related damages.

Types of Defects For Defective Products

There are three major types of defects that defective products have. They are manufacturing defects, design defects, and labeling defects (failure to warn).

Manufacturing Defects

When a product has a manufacturing defect, it means that there was an error in the production line of the product. Take that lawnmower scenario, for example. The jumping forward of the mower could have been a result of an error in the assembly of the mower.

In this type of defect, you can hold the manufacturer of the mower responsible based on the theory of strict liability.

This theory provides that the manufacturer can be held liable for any defects that occur as a result of faulty construction, regardless of whether adequate care was taken during the manufacture of the product.

What we will do for you when you hire us is to prove that the defect was present in the product at the time it left the factory. In a worst case scenario, we also handle wrongful death, although we hope your case doesn’t take that turn.

Design Defects

A design defect in a product is a flaw in the original design of the said product. The flaw will make the product to be unreasonably dangerous and a hazard for people that will use it. In proving liability for this type of defect, we will establish the presence of three elements:

• The product’s design was unreasonably dangerous prior to production.
• The manufacturer should have anticipated that the design of the product will harm potential users.
• The manufacturer could have used other more superior designs that would have been economically feasible and won’t alter the purpose of the product.

Labeling Defects (Failure to Warn)

If a product’s labeling failed to warn potential users of potential risks, then everyone in the chain of distribution of the product may be held liable for any injuries arising from using the product.

According to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), labels on products must be easy to read, offer a more detailed explanation, and illustrate any safety risks with pictures.
