Product Liability Claims

Defective Product Claims

Product liability claims stem from defective products that cause damage to property or people.  Product liability claims can range from simple property damage issues to wrongful death situations.

The lawyers at Packard LaPray are experienced and know how to handle claims against companies who produce defective products.  Often, these companies are fully aware that their products are defective and dangerous, yet they continue to manufacture and sell to unsuspecting consumers, regularly leading to serious injuries or deaths.

While Packard LaPray handles many different types of product liability cases, a few examples include:

• The Yamaha Rhino has been shown to have significant defects in design, making it easy for the ATV to roll over during low-speed turns.

• The Ortho-Evra Patch is a popular birth control patch that has been linked to life threatening side effects. Many have filed lawsuits after suffering from birth control patch injuries.

• Silicosis & Silica Exposure – Industrial occupational exposure to silica can cause chronic, terminal illness in workers.  Following a diagnosis of silicosis, it is important to seek legal help immediately.  Important deadlines are in effect.

• Defective Medical Devices – The Food & Drug Administration has identified many medical devices that have proven to be defective, dangerous and potentially deadly.  Joint-replacements and heart devices are just examples of defective medical devices.
