How a personal injury attorney can help your product liability case

When you are injured by a defective product, the last thing you want to worry about is how to pay for medical bills and other expenses. A personal injury attorney can help you file a product liability claim against the manufacturer of the defective product. When the manufacturer is held responsible for your injuries, you can receive financial compensation to cover your medical bills, lost wages and other expenses.

That said, the process of filing a product liability claim can be daunting, especially if you are not familiar with the legal system. An experienced personal injury attorney can guide you through the process and help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

In order to win your product liability claim, you will need to prove that the product was defective and that this defect caused your injury. This can be difficult to do, especially if the product has been recalled or is no longer available. An attorney can help by gathering evidence and preparing a case that will best support your claim.

Your attorney will also handle communication with the insurance company and other attorneys involved in the case.

With a skilled St. Louis product liability attorney on your side, your attorney will handle the gruntwork and heavy lifting around your case — allowing you to focus on recovering from your injuries.

What types of products are eligible for product liability claims in Missouri?

In Missouri, there are a variety of consumer products that can be subject to product liability claims. Some of the most common include:

• Pharmaceutical drugs. Drug manufacturers are responsible for testing their products for safety before they are released to the public. If a drug manufacturer fails to test a drug for its potential dangers, or if it does test the drug but does not disclose the risks, the manufacturer can be held liable for any injuries that occur as a result of taking the drug.
• Medical devices. Some of the most common types of defective medical devices include: Pacemakers, defective hip implants, transvaginal mesh implants and birth control.
• Cars and other vehicles. Cars can be subject to product liability claims for a variety of reasons, including: Defective brakes, malfunctioning airbags, defective seat belts, defective tires or faulty wiring.
• Electrical appliances. If an electrical appliance is defective, it can cause a number of very serious hazards in the home, from electric shocks to fires. Some common defects that can lead to electric shocks or fires include: Defective wiring, defective plugs, defective switches or faulty insulation.
• Tools and work equipment. When you use a tool, you expect it to be safe. You expect that the blades will be sharp and the construction will be sturdy. However, manufacturers sometimes cut corners and produce defective tools that can injure users.
• Children’s toys. Poorly designed or manufactured children’s toys can present a myriad of hazards. This includes choking hazards with small parts, suffocation hazards, danger of laceration and fire hazards.

If you have been injured by a defective product, it is important to speak with an attorney to find out if you are eligible to file a claim. Call the attorneys at Niemeyer, Grebel and Kruse today for your free case evaluation – (314) 350-1900.
