Kalispell Defective Product Injury Attorney

What Is a Defective Product Injury?

When a product with flaws or defects harms a consumer, that person has suffered a defective product injury. Such defects occur during manufacturing, design, or distribution, making products unsafe. 

Common defective products include:

• Vehicles
• Medical devices
• Pharmaceuticals
• Chemical products
• Manufactured food
• Protective equipment
• Household appliances

Defective products cause injuries by failing to perform safely as intended. For example, an appliance might spark and start a fire, resulting in burns. Perhaps a faulty car seatbelt could fail during an accident, causing severe trauma to drivers or passengers. Maybe a medication comes without proper warnings about side effects.

When products pose dangers instead of offering benefits, consumers face physical injuries, medical expenses, and emotional distress.

Types of Defective Product Claims 

Design Defects 

Design defects occur when a product's original design poses risks that outweigh its benefits. It was made correctly, but it was designed poorly.

Our team examines whether the product was inherently unsafe, regardless of proper manufacturing or usage. For example, a vehicle with a poorly placed fuel tank may catch fire in a low-speed collision. 

Manufacturing Defects 

Manufacturing defects happen during the production process, causing a product to deviate from its design. For instance, a batch of household appliances might have faulty electrical wiring that leads to fires. These issues typically impact specific units or lots, not the entire product line.

Our analysis can investigate a product, looking for errors introduced during assembly or construction. If we find such problems, we could help you seek justice.

Marketing Defects

Marketing defects arise when manufacturers fail to provide adequate warnings or instructions for safe product use. For example, an improperly labeled cleaning chemical exposes users to dangerous mishandling. 

Our team can look at whether consumers received sufficient information to understand potential risks.
