Product Liability
Bad products — from contaminated food to defective air bags to unsafe machinery — can cause serious injury and wrongful death. At Jacobs & Jacobs in New Haven, Connecticut, we file product liability lawsuits against those who make and sell dangerous products.
It is important to hold manufacturers accountable for defective and dangerous products that injure people. First, the victims need compensation so that they can recover from their injuries. Second, the manufacturers need to get a strong message that there is a heavy price to pay when they sell dangerous products.
- Dangerous factory equipment: Workplace injuries are generally covered by workers’ compensation. But when the injury was caused by a third party, such as the manufacturer of unsafe equipment, the worker may be able to file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer. Talk to a product liability lawyer to see if you have a legal claim.
- Defective auto parts: If a car accident was caused by a defective vehicle design or auto part, the defect may make the injuries from the accident far more serious than they should have been. When brakes fail or a design flaw causes instability on turns, the auto crash can cause serious injury or wrongful death. When an airbag fails to deploy or when a car’s seat back gives way in a wreck, the passengers are placed in grave danger. Product liability lawsuits help make cars safer.
- Dangerous food products: A foreign object in packaged food or unsafe food processing can cause serious injury or death. If a loved one suffered from e. coli or other food poisoning, or if you were injured by a foreign object in a food product, talk to our law firm about a product liability claim.
