Defective and Dangerous Products Attorneys in Phoenix, Arizona

Defective and dangerous products can be the consequence of inaccurate testing results, negligence, or flaws in the manufacturing of the product. A product should be reliable and safe; unfortunately, this is not always the case. Defective and dangerous products can potentially cause a person pain, suffering, and/or permanent emotional and physical damage.

Defective and Dangerous Product Preventions

Manufacturers of products are obligated to ensure Phoenix consumers will not suffer any harm and that their products are reliable. The following are a couple vital actions these companies should take in order to prevent defective and dangerous products from entering the public market.

• In order to make certain that a product is not defective and that nothing wrong will take place when using the product, they should perform tests and warn consumers of possible dangers.
• If a product causes unknown and dangerous side effects, it is the responsibility the product manufacturer to recall that dangerous product in order to protect the general public.

Dangerous and Defective Product Consequences

Product defect injuries can be caused by, but are not limited to, negligence, defective construction, or a conscious violation of safety codes and standards. When a person is injured because of a defective and dangerous product, those who make the product available, such as manufactures, distributors, or retailers, are responsible for any injuries that take place; this is called product liability. If precaution and thoroughness in regards to safety are not a manufacturer's main priorities, then a dangerous product injury or death will likely ensue.

Claims Involving Minor Children

When a minor (someone under 18 years of age) has a personal injury claim, in many cases, there is an extra set of procedures that apply to protect the interests of the minor. Specifically, the minor, usually through their attorney, will petition the probate court for approval of the minor settlement. This includes the amount of the settlement, the medical expenses to be paid from the settlement, the attorney's fees and costs, and the net settlement for the minor claimant. A more detailed explanation of this process is explained on our Minor Child Injury Pages.
