Hyattsville, MD Defective Products Lawyer
Knowledgeable Lawyer for Injuries Caused by Defective Products in Hyattsville, Maryland
Every day, people rely on a wide range of products to carry out their daily activities. They commute in vehicles, take prescribed medications, use household appliances, and employ many other types of products that affect nearly every aspect of their lives. These products are expected to be safe when used as intended. Unfortunately, when a product is defective, it can cause serious injuries. In these cases, victims will need to understand who was responsible and what they can do to obtain financial compensation.
At Kisner Law, we represent people who have been harmed by unsafe products, taking aggressive legal action against manufacturers, distributors, or retailers who were responsible for allowing dangerous goods to reach the public. Attorney Jason Kisner has the experience needed to hold these parties accountable and secure full compensation that will address the victims' losses.
Common Types of Defective Products
Product defects can affect virtually any type of consumer good or commercial equipment. When something goes wrong, the consequences can be severe. Examples of defective or dangerous products include:
- Automobiles and Auto Parts: Defective brakes, airbags, tires, or steering components can lead to serious car accidents.
- Medical Devices: Surgical implants, pacemakers, or joint replacements may break down or cause infections, potentially damaging internal organs and often requiring additional surgery.
- Pharmaceuticals: Medications with undisclosed side effects, harmful interactions with other drugs, or other safety issues can result in severe illnesses or even death.
- Children's Toys and Furniture: Items with small parts, toxic materials, or design flaws can lead to choking or strangulation risks that put children at risk of serious injuries.
- Power Tools and Machinery: Malfunctions, inadequate safety guards, or electrical issues can cause traumatic injuries to workers or consumers.
- Household Appliances and Electronics: Some products may overheat or have faulty wiring that can result in fires or electric shocks.
- Food Products: Contamination with bacteria, toxic chemicals, or allergens can lead to foodborne illnesses or allergic reactions.
Issues Addressed in Product Liability Cases
Consumers may bring product liability claims against manufacturers, distributors, or retailers. These claims may fall into one or more of the following categories:
- Design Defects: A product may be inherently dangerous due to the way it was designed. For example, a vehicle that is prone to rolling over due to a high center of gravity may be defective in design.
- Manufacturing Defects: These occur when a product deviates from its intended design due to errors in the manufacturing process. A batch of contaminated medication or a malfunctioning safety mechanism on a power tool may fall into this category.
- Failure to Warn (Inadequate Instructions): If a manufacturer fails to provide the proper warnings about the risks of using a product, or if it does not include instructions on how to use a product safely, it may be held liable for injuries that occur as a result.
Compensation for Victims of Defective Products
People who have been injured by dangerous products may struggle to recover, but by recovering financial compensation, they can make sure they will have the resources they need to address the effects of their injuries. At Kisner Law, we advocate for comprehensive compensation that addresses all forms of harm suffered by injury victims, including:
- Medical Expenses: Because the costs of emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and physical rehabilitation can be significant, we work to ensure that all of these expenses will be fully covered.
- Lost Income and Earning Potential: After being injured, a person may be unable to work for an extended period of time, and they should be reimbursed for the wages they have lost. We also work to ensure that compensation will address any permanent income loss due to an ongoing disability.
- Pain and Suffering: An injury can result in physical pain and emotional distress, and a disability may affect a person's enjoyment of their life. We work to ensure that compensation will fully address these issues.
- Punitive Damages: In cases where a manufacturer acted with willful disregard for safety, we can advocate for additional damages that serve as punishment.
