Pickett Dummigan LLP has successfully represented people severely injured and killed by defectively designed and labeled products.
Products liability litigation involves defective and unreasonably dangerous products that can kill or injure people. Manufacturers of these products are liable to design defects, improper safety devices and manufacturing defects that cause injury. Product liability cases can involve products such as defective female bladder control products, toys, automobile design, water heaters, industrial machinery and equipment, construction materials, products that cause explosions and/or burns, aviation products, and medical devices to name a few. A product must also include clear, visible and concise warnings outlining any dangers and their consequences. Pickett Dummigan LLP has successfully represented people severely injured and killed by defectively designed and labeled products.
The product liability lawsuit is the consumer's most effective tactic against unreasonably dangerous products. While regulations often lack the authority to give manufacturers more than a slap on the wrist, the product liability lawsuit allows the individual consumer to take an active role in recovering from an injury or death from a dangerous or defective product.
