Products Liability

Our daily lives have been enhanced through thousands of innovative products like the automobile that you drive, the tires on your car, medicine that you may consume, power tools used to build our society and even children's toys. These products are modern conveniences that we often take for granted and assume are safe for use by ourselves and our loved ones. As a consumer, you enjoy certain inalienable rights when you purchase a product and use it for its intended purpose. When you are injured due to a defect that makes a product unnecessarily and unforeseeably dangerous, you may be entitled to compensation from any or all parties involved in the design, creation, marketing, or sale of that product. The attorneys of Abramowitz and Pomerantz have years of expertise in the complex tasks of identifying and demonstrating negligence in defective product cases.

A product liability case can be brought for three possible types of defects. The most common of these is a manufacturing defect, or a dangerous defect that results from the manufacturer's failure to follow the designer's specifications. In such cases, it is often not necessary to give evidence of specific negligence since the defect itself is often evidence enough. A case may also be brought for a design defect. In such cases, it is necessary to show that the designer commissioned an unsafe product while safer, cost-effective alternatives were ignored. Finally, a manufacturer, distributer, or seller may be held responsible for failing to warn of known dangers, such as when the labeling of a product is insufficient or misleading, the instructions for use are incomplete or incomprehensible, or warnings of potential hazards are unclear or missing. Specific examples of defective products that have been the subject of litigation include defective automobiles that do not protect the passengers adequately in a crash, defective tires that cause vehicles to overturn during normal use, defective drugs, drugs that have been improperly formulated or formulated with tainted ingredients, defective surgical implants, defective medical devices, power tools that lack adequate safety guards and even children's toys that have been coated with lead paint.

It is important to note that not all of those who are injured while using a product are necessarily eligible to file a product liability claim. The failure to pay due attention to clear warning labels or the alteration or misuse of a product can undermine a consumer's right to take legal action in the event of an injury. Still, if you believe you might have a case, it is always a good idea to consult a qualified, experienced product liability attorney.
