Don’t Become a Statistic: Get a Product Liability Lawyer

When you buy a product from the store, you expect it to work properly. Sometimes, these items don’t work the way they’re supposed to. Defective products can cause serious injuries or even death.

The Importance of Hiring a Defective Product Attorney

Companies have issued countless recalls in the past few decades, including some high-profile cases. Some products that are commonly recalled for liability concerns are:

Cars – motor vehicles are one of the most commonly-recalled products
Toys – for choking hazards, toxins, or defects
Medical devices – like transvaginal mesh or hip implants
Drugs – another commonly-recalled product for contaminants
Food – leafy greens are common suspects
Cosmetics – for products tainted with asbestos and other toxins
Sporting goods
Fitness equipment
Industrial machinery

If you receive an injury from a defective product, you may not even realize that you have the grounds for a legal case. A lawyer can help you determine whether or not you should file a lawsuit. Additionally, these kinds of cases are highly-technical areas of law. That makes them nearly impossible to understand for the layman. An experienced lawyer can identify the causes of a product liability case, apply the law to the situation, and guide you through the legal process. An attorney can also complete and file any paperwork in your defective product case and make sure you don’t miss any important court deadlines.

Massachusetts Product Liability Law

The state of Massachusetts has a proud history of enacting laws to protect its citizens, and product liability cases are no exception. Massachusetts is a strict liability state, meaning you don’t need to prove that the product was defective to win your case. Instead, the producer needs to prove that their product was not defective. There are three main types of defects that you can use to support your product liability claim under Massachusetts law:

Defective manufacturing – something about the way to the product was built makes it defective
Defective design – something in the way the product was inherently designed makes it defective
Failures to warn buyers – the company failed to properly warn consumers of dangers surrounding the product.

These three main types of claims cover all of the product defect cases under the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act. If you fail to file your claim within three years, the statute of limitation dictates that your case is no longer valid. If you have any questions about your specific scenario and whether it constitutes a product liability claim, contact a lawyer.
