Defective Product Liability

Manufacturers and retailers have a legal responsibility to adequately protect consumers from defective products that they place into the stream of commerce. Using defective products can cause serious injury or death. Special laws apply to this type of personal injury case and, consequently, you should hire an attorney knowledgeable in this area. Any attorney can handle an auto accident claim. A good products liability attorney has a working knowledge of engineering and manufacturing processes.

Product liability laws were created to protect consumers from products that have design or manufacturing defects which may make them harmful to the public.

The basic concept underlying product liability law is that the companies making and providing the products are in the best position to prevent defective products from entering the marketplace. If they fail to do so, they can be held accountable. They also have a duty to put warnings on their products to warn against certain known dangers.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of an unsafe, dangerous, or defective product, it is important to seek the legal advice and representation of an experienced defective product attorney as soon as possible. A delay in obtaining representation may directly affect your ability to achieve a successful outcome. Contact Scott D. Santos, P.A., at (321) 972-6340, or by using our online submission form.
