What to Do When You've Been Injured by a Defective Product

    DENVER, CO, April 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Every year in the United States, thousands of people are injured using a wide variety of products. These injuries can have serious and long-lasting consequences. You may be entitled to compensation for your injury if it was the result of a defective product. A product can be considered defective if it falls into one or more of these three categories:

- Manufacturing defects
- Design defects
- Failure to warn

Manufacturing defects occur when the manufacturer has no system of inspecting their product and it ends up failing during normal use and causing injury. A design defect is one where the product is inherently faulty and unsafe. A failure to warn occurs when an injury takes place and there was no label on the product or in an instruction manual to warn you of the possible dangers involved in using the product.

If you do get hurt by a defective product, you should seek the help of an experienced product liability lawyer. A product liability lawyer is familiar with the ins and outs of the legal process and will ensure that you get the compensation you deserve to help pay for your immediate and long term costs. An attorney can help you positively determine if your injury is the result of a defective product.

A skilled attorney is also useful in helping you name the defendants in your claim. A product liability lawsuit may need to include all parties involved in the chain of distribution, from the manufacturer to the retailer. If all parties have a share in distributing a safe and effective product, then they may all have a responsibility in compensating you for your injuries.

A product liability attorney will provide invaluable help in researching all aspects of your product liability claim and helping you win your case. Product liability claims not only can aid your financial recovery, but they also help ensure that the defective product is not able to hurt anyone else.
