You may be shocked to learn how often defective products reach consumers.
Every year, thousands of consumer products are recalled in the U.S. Even products that have already been tested and approved by government agencies have been recalled. The problem is that many of those recalls happen only after people have been hurt.
In the United States alone, about 40 million people are injured because of consumer products that have already been recalled for defects. Each year, over 40,000 people die because of defective products in the U.S.
Product manufacturers in Washington State have a duty to ensure the products they sell are reasonably safe. After all, these companies make huge profits by selling those products. They have the resources to conduct rigorous testing to make sure they’re safe.
When they don’t, they can be held strictly liable for the resulting harm. Victims can recover compensation without proving that the responsible company was negligent.
Virtually any type of consumer product can become incredibly dangerous if it suffers from a defect.
At Davis Law Group, we handle all types of product liability cases, including cases involving:
If you have questions about your legal options, reach out to our law firm in Seattle today. We offer free case evaluations, so there’s no risk.
While you don’t have to prove negligence to win your case, recovering compensation isn’t automatic.
You will still have to prove:
There are three main types of product defects:
Products suffer from design defects when they’re dangerous because of the product design itself. Even if the manufacturer follows the design precisely, the product will still be dangerous.
However, not all products with design defects give you the right to recover damages. Some products are so beneficial that the benefits outweigh the dangers.
When evaluating a design defect case, courts will consider whether:
If these things are true, the manufacturer should have adopted that design and can be liable for failing to do so.
Products can suffer from manufacturing defects when something goes wrong during the manufacturing process. Maybe a batch of prescription drugs was contaminated. Maybe the company used the wrong size screw when assembling a line of car seats.
In manufacturer defect cases, the product would have been safe had the manufacturer followed the design. To win, you’ll have to prove that the product became unreasonably dangerous due to some type of deviation from the design.
Again, with some products, not all risks can be eliminated. Companies still have a duty to warn consumers about existing risks. When manufacturers fail to warn consumers about a risk that they should know about, they can be held liable.
For example, assume a medication has possible side effects. The pharmaceutical company must warn consumers about those dangers. That way, you can make an informed decision about whether the benefits outweigh the risks.
All cases are unique. However, certain factors are relevant in nearly every case.
Our attorneys will consider:
The product manufacturer likely has a major insurance company and defense team in their corner. Fortunately, our lawyers in Seattle handle insurance claims every day. We’ll work closely with your family and carefully evaluate your losses so that we can fight for every available dollar.
Under state law, you can seek compensation for both economic damages and non-economic damages.
Those damages might include:
Punitive damages are rare in Seattle. Punitive damages are only available when the defendant acted intentionally or in an especially shocking way. For example, if the manufacturer knew about a serious danger and sold the product anyway, punitive damages may be available.
Our team works for contingency fees. When clients hire us, they agree to pay us a percent of the compensation we recover in their case. We never charge upfront fees or retainers.
With this payment method, we only get paid for our work if we successfully handle your case. We’ll also have an incentive to recover as much money as we can for you.
In product liability cases, manufacturers often claim victims were only hurt because they used the product incorrectly. You won’t lose your right to compensation if the misuse was reasonably foreseeable.
Even if you did share some blame, Washington has a pure comparative negligence law. Your compensation will be reduced according to your share of fault.
At Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers, we often represent injury victims who have suffered:
If you were injured, call our law firm in Seattle today. We’ll do everything possible to help you make a full financial recovery.
