Product Liability Lawyer
Were You Harmed by a Faulty Product? You May Have a Case
If a product does not work as intended, it can be considered defective. In Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, when a defective product leads to personal injury or wrongful death, the manufacturer and seller may be liable for damages.
Pursuing product liability damages is not always easy. The burden of proof for product liability lies on the plaintiff, who must show they were injured due to the packaging, design, marketing, or inadequate warning labels on the product.
The attorneys at our Rockville law firm know what evidence convinces judges and juries that a product is defective and led to an injury. If you're going up against a company with strong legal representation, our product liability lawyers won't hesitate to challenge their counter-arguments and push for an appropriate settlement.

View on GoogleTypes of Product Liability Defect Claims
Design Defects
Products that are designed poorly can work improperly, leading to an injury. Our attorneys can demonstrate in court that a product has a faulty design and that a safer design could have been used instead.
Manufacturing Defects
A manufacturing defect is related to the improper construction of a product. It can be limited to a single unit or products that were made at a specific plant. We work with experts who can prove fault during the manufacturing process.
Marketing Defects
Warning labels and proper instructions are required for all potentially dangerous products. If a product has inadequate labels or no labels at all, the manufacturer can be liable for any injuries. We can demonstrate that a product was improperly labeled, causing your injury.
Common Defective Products That Lead to Product Liability Lawsuits
Defects in the motor, tires, or other parts of a vehicle can cause accidents and injuries. If the defect affects a safety feature, like seatbelts or airbags, drivers and passengers may suffer preventable injuries in an accident through no fault of their own.
Computers, phones, televisions, and other consumer electronics are expected to work as advertised. Defective electronic devices have been known to shock people and cause fires, leading to significant injury.
Children's toys that are small or have small parts can be a choking hazard. Other toys can have toxic paints or materials. All toys should be reasonably safe for children and not be made of any dangerous material that could lead to injury or harm.
Prescription and over-the-counter medications can have unintended side effects if they're not properly tested before being released. They may also have confusing directions or misleading labels.
Defective toasters, ovens, microwaves, and other household appliances have been known to cause house fires. Freon leaking from a refrigerator can also be harmful to your health.
Damages You Can Recover In a Product Liability Case
Medical Expenses
An injury from a faulty product can lead to multiple trips to the doctor, leaving with you costly medical bills. Our Rockville attorneys can factor any medical expenses you've accumulated since your injury into your claim, as well as any future medical care you will need.
Lost Wages
Your injury may be severe enough to keep you from working for a while, even permanently. The manufacturer and other parties responsible for the distribution of the faulty product can be held liable for your lost wages.
Pain and Suffering
Injuries can be physically painful and mentally taxing. No amount of money can undo your injury, but financial compensation can give you the resources to help you heal.
Property Damage
If your house caught on fire because of a faulty appliance or your car was in an accident because of a defective part, those property damages can be included in your product liability claim.
Punitive Damages
To set an example for other manufacturers, designers, or distributors, you may also be awarded punitive damages. These damages are imposed to set an example and discourage others from engaging in similar behavior.
Still Unsure if You Have a Case?
If you have questions about your experience with a defective product but don't know if you have a case, you should contact us for a consultation anyway. It costs you nothing to find out if you have a viable product liability case. Our attorneys won't pressure you into filing and will give you advice that is in your best interest.
