Dangerous and Defective Products | Design Defects | Manufacturing Defects | Failure to Warn or Provide Notice

Frequently Asked Questions About Product Liability Claims
What Should I Do If I’m Hurt by a Dangerous or Defective Product?
- The first thing you should always do after any injury is get the medical attention you need. The longer you wait, the greater the risk that your injury will be aggravated and any legal claim will be compromised. Whether in a hospital emergency room, an urgent care facility, or your personal physician’s office, take the time to carefully explain to medical personnel exactly what happened. Make sure you discuss everything that seems out of the ordinary, not just the obvious injuries. Ask doctors and nurses to document everything in writing.
- As soon as possible, hire an experienced personal injury attorney. Your lawyer will know exactly what needs to be done to protect your legal interests, from preserving physical evidence and gathering witness statements to filing all necessary legal documents. Your attorney can also be your advocate with insurance companies, if necessary.
- If possible, take time at the scene of the accident to gather information and evidence. Get the names of anyone involved in the accident or who witnessed the events. Take pictures of everything, including your injuries, the product that caused the injury, and the surrounding circumstances.
What Types of Product Liability Claims Does Bailey & Galyen Take?
Our attorneys have extensive experience successfully litigating all types of product liability claims, including:
- Defective design cases—Allegations that designers failed to act reasonably and that the injuries suffered were the result of the careless design of a product. For example, a motor vehicle designed to be too top heavy can make it prone to rollovers.
- Defective manufacture—Carelessness in the assembly, fabrication, construction, or manufacture of a product, including use of substandard parts, failure to oversee the manufacturing process, or failure to include essential components.
- Defective marketing or failure to warn—The failure to include product warnings or notices of known or reasonably anticipated dangers that might result from use of the product, including nonconforming uses that could be reasonably anticipated.
Bailey & Galyen handles product liability claims involving all types of consumer products, including appliances, motor vehicles, toys, furniture, nursery products, and sports equipment.
