Phoenix Defective Product Lawyers
Aggressively fighting for the rights of Phoenix defective product victims
When we make purchases as consumers, we rightly expect those products to work correctly. We trust manufacturers and designers to make their products safe for proper use. However, recent changes to the statutes in Arizona have made it a challenge for people hurt by defective products to obtain the compensation they need to recover from their injuries.
At Plattner Verderame P.C., we can face those challenges head on. Since 1991, our knowledgeable Phoenix defective product lawyers have put our experience and creativity to work on behalf of injury victims throughout Arizona. We provide you with honest, professional representation at every step.
Understanding the causes of defective products
A liability claim for a defective product can arise under a variety of circumstances. The defect that caused your injury may have originated with the design of the product, or it may not have developed until the product was packaged and marketed to you for purchase. The following classifications represent the basic types of product liability:
- Design defects. These flaws stem from the faulty design of a product, which means that the actual blueprint for creating the product was unreasonably dangerous. An example would be a chair that is designed with unequal leg lengths, making it unstable to sit on.
- Manufacturing defects. These defects arise during the assembly of a product. The design was reasonably safe, but some error occurred during the manufacturing process. For example, medication that is mistakenly laced with a toxic substance during the bottling process represents a manufacturing defect.
- Marketing defects and deficient warnings. These injuries are not caused by any defect with the product itself. Instead, the manufacturer and/or seller failed to adequately warn you about risks associated with the product. Buyers need to know when they are purchasing dangerous drugs and devices, or other products that have a high probability of causing harm. Failure to warn about the flammable dangers of a gasoline product is an example of a deficient warning. So is failing to warn women that their talc-based products or their breast implants could be linked to ovarian or breast cancer, respectively.
If you are severely injured by a defective product, trust an experienced Phoenix personal injury lawyer to secure compensation from all responsible parties. Depending on the details of your case, a claim may be made against the manufacturer, wholesaler, or product retailer. The attorneys of our firm have also successfully handled cases in which more than one party was at fault for resulting injuries.
