Overland Park and Independence, Missouri – Product Liability and Defective Products Lawyers
Product liability is an area of personal injury law that involves injuries caused by defective products. Corporations and manufacturers that produce or sell products used by consumers have a responsibility to ensure that their products will not injure or harm the individuals using them. Our Independence, Missouri and Overland Park-area product liability lawyers can assist individuals who have been injured by defective and unsafe products. We can also help the families of those who may have suffered wrongful death as a result of unsafe products.
The term “products” includes any manufactured object that is used by, or that comes in contact with, a human being, such as machinery, medicine, food, motor vehicles, household appliances, toys, tools, and clothing. Currently there are a number of products that are the subjects of product liability lawsuits, including Firestone Tires, Rezulin®, Fen-Phen, Baycol®, other pharmaceuticals, cars with defective seatbelts, defective child car seats, and more.
If you are an Overland Park or Independence-area resident and have a defective products claim, schedule a free case review with the Kansas City, Missouri product liability lawyers of Bottaro, Morefield & Kubin, L.C. Learn about your legal rights and receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Defective Products
A defective product is one that can cause injury or harm to a person due to a flaw in the design or manufacture of the product, the way the product was intended for use, or the way the product was labeled. The manufacturer or the government agency that regulates the product may issue a recall if a defect is discovered. This action usually is not taken until someone has been injured or killed, however. Under most state laws, the manufacturer or anyone who sells a defective product can be held liable for injuries caused by that product.
At our Kansas City, Missouri-area firm, all defective products claims are handled expertly by our product liability lawyers. We work with victims to hold the responsible parties liable for the injuries their products have caused.
Defective Drugs
Defective drugs can pose grave threats to those who are seeking medical help. Unfortunately, many of the people who take these drugs are among the most vulnerable in our society, including children, the elderly, and the chronically ill. See our full section on drug recall litigation for more information on this serious area of product liability law.
Defective Medical Devices
Medical devices include implanted heart valves and pacemakers, blood sugar monitors, dental braces, and more. These products, when unsafe or defective, can cause serious injuries and possible death to the user.
The medical device industry in the United States is extremely competitive, and many companies have sacrificed the quality of their products to stay ahead in the marketplace. In addition, some companies have provided insufficient warnings that fail to provide product users with important information about the side effects of their product. Unfortunately, consumers are suffering because of these unsafe and defective products.
