Defective Products
Product LiabilityWhen people are hurt by a defective product, they have the option to sue the responsible party. They can receive compensation if the victim can prove the other party was responsible for their injuries.
Product liability law is an area of law that covers defective and dangerous products. These include defective medical devices, among others.
A plaintiff doesn't always have to prove negligence in a defective product case. A court may hold a product manufacturer liable if the plaintiff proves their product is unsafe, as in the Hernia Mesh lawsuit.
If you’ve been injured by a defective product, like a medical device, you should consult with one of ConsumerShield’s attorneys. They are experienced in these types of cases and can explain the law and determine if you should file a lawsuit.
