If a product is defective and causes injury, the manufacturer and sometimes others in the distribution chain can be sued for compensation, even if a recall notice was issued. However, simply owning a product that was later recalled does not give you the legal right to sue the manufacturer unless the specific product caused you harm and you suffered damages as a result. In such cases, you must stop using the defective product immediately to avoid further injury and call our national product liability law firm for a free consultation.
When manufacturers become aware of safety problems with their products, they are required by federal law to issue recalls. These recalls are required by U.S. government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). If a recalled product injured you, you could be qualified to file a lawsuit to receive monetary compensation. However, product injury lawsuits can be complicated, and it is essential that you have an experienced product injury lawyer at work on your product liability claim. In all states, the time you have to file your product liability lawsuit is limited. Therefore, you must speak to the caring attorneys at Parker Waichman LLP about your product injury case as soon as possible to protect your legal rights.
In a product injury lawsuit, the damages your attorney will be demanding can include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering. In some cases, the courts may allow a plaintiff to receive a punitive damage award. To obtain economic compensation for damages caused by a dangerous or recalled product, seek medical attention immediately, document what happened, and hold on to the defective product, packaging, and instructions. Speaking with an attorney with experience in handling product injury cases is also recommended.
