Products Liability

Adults and children often are injured by design flaws and defects in goods, including cars and other auto industry products, construction materials, heavy machinery, appliances, children’s toys, cribs, car seats, drugs and other consumer products. Manufacturers are responsible for designing and manufacturing safe products, and they can be held liable when they fail to do so.
