Bronx Product Liability Lawyers

The United States Food and Drug Administration, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and other entities attempt to evaluate the safety of products of all kinds. Sadly, the reality is that there is no way for them to completely guarantee that all dangerous products will be identified before they cause one or more persons to suffer serious injury or illness. By the time a dangerous product is recalled, one or more families have likely faced the alarming and sometimes tragic effects of hazardous goods.

If you or your loved one has sustained an injury or illness due to a manufacturer’s negligence, then you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation for medical bills and other damages through a civil lawsuit. A skilled and experienced attorney can help you to understand the potential merits of legal action. Contact the Bronx product liability lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 888-244-2273.

Different Types of Product Defects

Though there are many different ways that a manufacturer can be negligent, there are two broad categories of product defects into which most liability claims fall:

• Design defects are the most commonly encountered type of defect. This is especially disturbing because these flaws are inherent in the design of an item and therefore will be present in every single copy of it. Manufacturers should take the time and care to identify these hazards before a product is released to the public, but some fail to do so.

• Manufacturing defects arise when unsafe materials, improper assembly, or other failures occur during the manufacturing process. Because of this, the hazardous effects may be limited to only a small part of a production run and therefore constitute a less widespread though not necessarily less severe threat.

There is no justification for careless actions that allow dangerous products to be placed on the market. If you have been harmed by a poorly designed or built product, our Bronx product liability attorneys may be able to help you pursue justice.
