Frequently Asked Questions About Defective Product Injury Claims in Philadelphia, PA

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 215-610-3440 today!

  • A defective product claim exists when a product is unreasonably dangerous due to a design flaw, a manufacturing error, or inadequate warnings or instructions. If the product failed during normal use or did not include proper warnings about known risks, and that failure caused your injury, you may have grounds for a claim. An experienced defective product attorney can review the product, investigate its design and manufacturing history, consult experts, and determine whether the defect directly contributed to your injuries.

  • Almost any consumer product can give rise to a liability claim if it is defective. Common examples include children’s toys, home appliances, sports gear, power tools, electronic devices, construction equipment, automobile parts, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs. Even everyday household products can cause severe injuries when they contain hidden defects. Product liability law is not limited to high profile medical devices and applies broadly to any unsafe product sold to consumers.

  • Responsibility may fall on multiple parties within the product’s chain of distribution. This includes manufacturers, designers, assemblers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. Each may be held liable depending on how and where the defect occurred. For example, a design flaw may make the entire product line unsafe, while a manufacturing defect may affect only a single batch. Failure to provide proper warnings can also result in liability. Your attorney will investigate the entire manufacturing and distribution chain to determine all parties who may be held accountable.

  • You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. In severe cases, compensation may include long term care costs, home modifications, or damages for permanent disability. Families who lose a loved one due to a defective product may also pursue wrongful death compensation. Because product liability cases often involve corporations and complex evidence, having a skilled attorney increases your chances of securing the full compensation you deserve.
