Types of Product Liability Claims

Manufacturing companies have a certain responsibility to American consumers. At John M. O'Brien & Associates, P.C., we believe that when a product causes harm, the responsible party should be held accountable.

We are equipped with the knowledge, the experience and the resources to successfully handle a broad range of these types of cases. We will thoroughly investigate the details of your case to determine what went wrong and why, and will fight tirelessly to obtain justice.

Some common causes include:

• Defective product designs
• Mistakes made during the production process (manufacturing errors)
• Failure to warn consumers of potential dangers associated with a product
• Misuse of a product by a third party (e.g. the retail store where the product was sold or the wholesaler)

No matter what the circumstances are in your case, we will thoroughly investigate to determine what exactly happened. When a product is defective, the results can be fatal. Serious injuries can arise from the following products:

• Defective auto parts (faulty brakes, airbags and seatbelts)
• Dangerous children's toys (resulting in choking or strangulation)
• Dangerous drugs (resulting in conditions such as heart attack, stroke or death)
• Medical devices (resulting in birth injuries or wrongful death)
• Defective construction equipment (unsafe ladders or scaffolds)

Have You Been Injured by a Dangerous Product?

If you've been harmed by an unsafe product, you can seek a recovery for your loss. It is important to keep the packaging materials, the instructions and the product itself. These items are important keys to proving your case. It is also important to hire an attorney who has experience in these types of cases.
