Sacramento Defective Product Lawyers

Manufacturers and their agents are obligated to provide consumers with products that are safe when used in a reasonable manner.

Manufacturers are also obligated to market their product responsibly. This means that, although a product may be safe if used for a specific purpose, it could be hazardous if used under different circumstances. In that case, the product must include clear, visible and concise warnings outlining the danger and it's consequence.

The most common claim against a manufacturer is usually referred to as a "strict product liability" claim. If you file a strict product liability claim against a manufacturer, you may not have to prove that the manufacturer was "negligent" (necessary in most other injury claims) but you may have to establish the following:

1. The product was, in fact, defective.
2. The defect existed prior to the manufacturer releasing the product.
3. The defect caused your damages.

If you have been injured due to a defective product, make sure you do the following:

1. Keep the product and anything related to it, such as packaging, instructions, receipts, etc.
2. Take photographs of the product and the accident scene.
3. Verify that you were using the defective product in accordance with the manufacturer's written instructions.
4. Gather the names and phone numbers of any witnesses to be contacted by your attorney at a later date.
5. Seek medical attention immediately.

The bitterness of poor design lasts forever after the sweetness of cheapness is gone!!!!

Always research a product before you purchase it and never gamble with your safety. If a product looks "too good", or it's " too cheap", it could be "deadly"!
