When we think about product liability, we imagine many different scenarios. Product liability cases can be confusing and result in severe injuries, meaning you face massive medical bills if you’re the victim of a company’s wrongdoing. Still, any company that creates an item or product for sale to consumers may be liable for injuries and other losses. Especially if your injuries are severe enough to require medical attention or interrupt your everyday life, your circumstances deserve to be treated with the utmost care and consideration.

Generally speaking, product liability refers to a company’s responsibility to its consumers, especially concerning safety and health. While consumers must use a product with common sense and adhere to any warnings the company provides, there are some cases where a company is liable for losses.
For example, suppose a hair curling iron is faulty and burns a consumer’s hand when holding the handle. In that case, the company will generally be responsible for the medical bills necessary to treat these injuries. In the original design and functionality of the product, the handle is not meant to heat up, and warnings surrounding this danger are not addressed in any of the packaging or instructions.
Many parties may be responsible for a product’s faulty nature and the consumer’s injuries. However, many individuals take part in the company’s manufacturing process. Often, the following people are responsible for product liability injuries in Cypress:
More than one party may be responsible for your damages, and all possibilities should be considered before moving forward. For help determining who is responsible for your injuries, we strongly encourage you to work with a product liability attorney in Cypress. Your lawyer can help you determine which individuals should be held responsible.
We strongly recommend you seek medical attention during or before legal matters related to severe injuries. Your doctor or other medical health practitioners can help you determine the cause of your injuries, find latent wounds, recommend treatment plans, and make referrals to specialists where necessary.
Doctor’s notes and itemized medical bills may also help if you decide to take legal action against responsible parties. These may help you accurately describe your version of events during legal proceedings and receive the compensation you need to cover medical expenses, for example. If you need assistance finding a trustworthy and experienced medical practitioner, your lawyer may be able to provide you with a referral.
We recommend that anyone who receives a severe injury due to no fault of their own work with a lawyer, especially if they want to receive fair compensation for their losses. Working with a lawyer is a great way to reduce risks associated with the legal process. If you choose to represent yourself, you may misrepresent your case and lose some portion of the compensation you deserve. Reducing the value of your claims is far less likely when you work with a product liability lawyer, as your attorney likely has the necessary experience to assist you.
Most product liability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you are only obligated to pay your lawyer once you win your case. Additionally, this payment does not necessarily need to come out of your pocket. Most victims can receive compensation for legal fees in addition to other economic and non-economic losses they may face.
We recommend you contact a lawyer as quickly as possible to improve your likelihood of success during legal matters. Your lawyer can help streamline the legal process in several ways, including speaking on your behalf, maintaining your schedule and appointments, and handling other insurance and legal representatives that may be involved in your legal matters. Your attorney can also help you collect and assess evidence, join or lead investigations, and strategize the next best steps for you to consider.
You may be entitled to compensation if you receive severe injuries from a faulty product. The product liability lawyers at Mott & Moffett are ready to help you fight for your rights and protections, including winning the compensation you need to focus on your recovery.
