What are dangerous and defective products? Simply stated, they are products that are either defectively designed or defectively manufactured. A defective product might also be one in which the manufacturer failed to provide enough instructions regarding the proper use of the product, or warnings about the product. If any of these three situations exist, it may be said that the product is defective and dangerous. If someone is injured due to a defective or dangerous product, that individual has a right to be compensated to the fullest extent the law will allow.
We do not realize it, but every one of us relies on any infinite number of products every single day of our lives. From the beds we sleep in, to the sheets and bedding that cover us; to the clothing we wear; the medication and drugs we ingest; the food and drinks we consume;
the household appliances we use literally hundreds of times each day, like our stovetops, ovens and coffee makers; to our computers, cellular phones and tablets; our lawnmowers and gardening tools and equipment; all the way to our own automobiles and various other modes of transportation.
Without thinking, we assume that such products are safe to use without the possibility of injury. When a product is placed on a store shelf, or sold online, consumers like you and me have a right to assume that it will be safe. We expect the products that we purchase to work properly. We do not expect them to hurt us. But what happens when the product is not safe? What happens when the product causes us harm, or a severe injury or even death?
It is unfortunate, but it is nonetheless a fact that product manufacturers and distributors sometimes fail to keep their promise of releasing only safe products into the marketplace. When products fail to work as advertised, or are inherently dangerous even when used properly, injuries inevitably result. When that happens, you need a skilled attorney like Todd Drayton of the Law Office of Todd Drayton to step in and hold the product manufacturer and distributor accountable.
By law, manufacturers are responsible to ensure that their products meet certain safety requirements long before consumers purchase their items. They are obligated to both test and inspect their products in order to determine that they are reasonably safe before placing that product on the market. However, all too often these manufacturers and their insurers place profits before people.
Injuries that are caused when a person is using a product that was manufactured or marketed in a defective or dangerous way becomes the basis for prosecuting a potential claim against the manufacturer, distributor or even seller of the product. In short, the basic concept behind product liability law is that the companies providing the products are usually in the best position to prevent defective products from entering the marketplace. If they fail to meet this most basic of duties, they can and should be held accountable.
If you were harmed by a defective or dangerous product, you deserve to be compensated. As a victim, you can deserve compensation for your pain and suffering (both physical and mental), medical expenses, lost wages and any aspect of a reduced quality of life. While it may seem intimidating to go up against major manufacturers or sellers, with the right legal team on your side, you can achieve justice for yourself and thousands, perhaps millions of others like yourself, who have been or could potentially be harmed in the future by the defective and/or dangerous condition that caused your injury.
