We Hold Manufacturers Accountable: McMath Woods

Standing up to a manufacturing company may seem intimidating, but the lawyers at McMath Woods have years of experience in product liability cases. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished for those injured by defective products. Our team knows how to thoroughly investigate a defective product case and protect our client’s rights.

What Are the Kinds of Defective Products?

Any product people consume, use, or operate could be defective. It often comes down to the company and if they were negligent during the process of making the product and putting it on the market. Types of possible defective products include:

Medical Devices

This could include machines in hospitals or devices that help with surgery. Some medical devices are implanted, and people depend on them to work and not degrade. Failing medical products puts patients at risk of injury or could even be life-threatening.

Dangerous Drugs

It’s possible that medicine can be dangerous and cause health complications. Our lawyers can help you with a dangerous drug case, such as a Zantac cancer lawsuit.

Auto Product Liability

People depend on cars and operate off-road vehicles every day. If the brakes, steering, or engine go out because they’re defective or if a part was defectively designed, the driver could crash and injure themselves and others.

Aircraft Product Liability

Issues with elements of an airplane could risk the safety of everyone on the flight. Aircraft injuries can be catastrophic, and they may have never happened in the first place if negligence didn’t occur when the plane’s components were made.

Household Items

Appliances, furniture, and even children’s toys can be defective and hazardous. Faulty products could include everyday items like microwaves, fans, decorations, or crib mobiles.

These aren’t the only kinds of defective products we’ve handled. If you have a question regarding the validity of your defective product claim, you can ask one of our product liability attorneys.

How do Products Become Defective?

There are a few stages of production where a product can become defective. The following areas of development have their own responsibilities in making a product and getting it to shelves, but if one detail is wrong or off, the product could harm someone.

Resourcing. If a product is made with cheap materials or dangerous materials that break down over time, the product can become defective. It could be more than the product not working; the item may have electrical issues that could cause electrocution or become a fire hazard.
Design. Flaws in the design could mean the product could become dangerous. Similar to manufacturing, a design flaw in a device that uses electricity could make the product flammable or a design flaw may cause a product to malfunction causing serious injury or death.
Packaging. A product can be safe to use, but if it’s in packaging with an error, it’s still defective. The instructions need to be clear and correct. There’s a chance of instructions using confusing graphics, so they could make people use the product incorrectly. Missing or omitting risks from the packaging could lead to an injury.

Companies have an obligation to put safe products on the market. When something goes wrong and makes the product dangerous, you may need to know how that happened for your claim. Your product liability lawyer will look into your case and injuries to see what made the product defective.

What Compensation Can You Get in a Defective Product Claim?

Your injury may prevent you from working and make everyday tasks difficult and painful. A successful settlement will help you afford care without worrying about future expenses. Your product liability attorney will do everything to ensure you get the compensation you need. Your settlement could cover the following:

Pain and Suffering. Taking note of your injuries and the pain you’re feeling will help show how the defective product has hurt you and affected your life.
Medical Expenses. Your injury may have put you in the hospital or required surgery to fix it. You will probably need care in the future for your recovery. Your lawyer will calculate how much your medical expenses have cost in the past and what you will need in the future, and your compensation will help with it.
Lost Wages and Loss of Earnings. Your injuries can either stop you from working for a period of time or cause you to not be able to return to your job at all. Your compensation can help cover the work that you’ve missed or will miss.
Property Damage. If the defective product caused damage to your house or car, you may be able to get compensation to cover those costs.

In the most serious cases, a defective product can cause a wrongful death. McMath Woods P.A. will help you get justice for your loved one and hold the people who made the defective product accountable for their actions.
