When you purchase and use a consumer product, you trust that it has been thoroughly tested and has been deemed safe enough for you and your family. You trust that the product designer and manufacturer produced a product that can not and will not injure someone. Sometimes that trust is not warranted. That’s where the Lake Charles defective product lawyers at Baggett McCall LLC can help. Reach out to our personal injury attorneys today for help with your claim.
Seemingly safe products may be extremely dangerous. Some are inherently dangerous due to poor design; others are dangerous because of manufacturing errors; others may be dangerous because of failure to warn. The reason the product is dangerous can be essential to a defective product case, since it can influence who is liable for the injury. At Baggett McCall LLC, we offer experienced and aggressive legal advocacy to protect the rights of clients who have suffered as a result of dangerous or defective products.
Dangerous or defective products can cause serious injury or wrongful death. In cases where manufacturers, retailers, and others know or should have known of the risk but continue to sell the product, it could lead to substantial damages. Settling for less than you deserve is one of the biggest risks injured people face. When you or someone you love has been hurt, please contact us to speak with a Lake Charles defective products attorney as soon as possible for an initial consultation and case evaluation.
Manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that their products are safe for consumer use. Defective products can be dangerous, and if a person is injured while using a product, the manufacturer can be held legally liable. Manufacturers must inform consumers of any dangers inherent in the use of their products.
They must be certain not to include substandard or malfunctioning parts in the products they make. If a product is known to be dangerous or cause injury, a recall must be made to protect consumers. In some cases, sellers, wholesalers, designers, and parts manufacturers may also bear responsibility.
A defective product can be highly technical and legally complex. Identifying how and why a product failed requires a detailed analysis of the product’s design, manufacturing process, and warnings or instructions provided to consumers. We have experience in cases involving design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn of dangerous products. Our product liability attorneys in Lake Charles will begin an immediate investigation to preserve all necessary evidence for your case.
They may also look at whether the injured party used the products as intended, and, if not, whether the misuse contributed to the injury. So, while product liability cases have a low threshold in terms of proving fault due to strict liability, they do require proving certain facts before a person can recover monetary damages.
Additionally, these cases may also involve multiple responsible parties, making it critical to work with attorneys who understand how to pursue all available sources of compensation.
At Baggett McCall LLC, we take immediate action to protect your claim. Our Lake Charles attorneys work with engineers, product safety experts, and medical professionals to determine the cause of the defect and to demonstrate how the product caused your injuries.
