Tempe Product Liability Lawyer
When a product is released onto the market, the expectation is that it should be safe enough to use as intended. The U.S. has come a long way in enacting laws and safety standards to limit the amount of defective products that reach consumers. Unfortunately, defective and downright dangerous products can still creep in, causing serious injuries and emotional harm. If you were harmed by a faulty product, our Tempe, AZ product liability lawyer can help you pursue compensation when you call us today at SL Chapman Trial Lawyers!
Product Liability Lawyer Tempe, AZ
Product liability cases can have a huge range, everything from defective automobile products to household appliances, children’s toys, to even food. Product liabilities can be the result of manufacturing errors, design defects, the way the product was handled and delivered to the consumer (such as in the case of food), or failing to have the proper warnings or instructions. Regardless of the cause, if you were harmed due to some level of negligence or recklessness, it’s your legal right to seek compensation.
When pursuing compensation, the first step is identifying who’s legally responsible. Liability can fall on the manufacturer, the distributor, the wholesaler, or the retailer. It’s not uncommon for parties to try and shift blame, especially if a victim tries to pursue the matter themselves without legal representation. Evidence plays a major role in building a strong case. Besides the product itself, evidence can include warranty information, purchase receipts, photographs of the injuries, and medical reports.
Our team always takes a holistic approach when pursuing compensation. A settlement can cover much more than immediate and long-term medical costs. Depending on the severity of the injury, you may need compensation for lost wages and temporary or permanent disability. Our team can also factor in emotional distress for your settlement.
