Products Liability
Why choose the Law Offices of Alan Legum for your products liability case?
A products liability case involves a defective or unreasonably dangerous product that causes injury to a consumer. Product liability cases may involve a toy, an automobile, a piece of industrial machinery, a household product or any other unreasonably dangerous item sold to the public. An experienced products liability attorney like Alan Legum can identify responsible parties up and down the distribution chain, from manufacturers to distributors to retailers, so you receive everything you are entitled to under the law.
In most states, in order to be successful in a products liability case, the plaintiff must prove: 1) that the product was in a defective condition at the time that it left the possession or control of the seller, 2) that it was unreasonably dangerous to the user or consumer, and 3) that the defect was a cause of the injuries.
Further, a manufacturer has a duty to warn with respect to hidden dangerous characteristics of a product, even if the product is not defective. If a manufacturer fails to warn the consumer about a product’s hidden danger, it is responsible for any injuries that result.
