Am I Eligible to File a Case?

The answer to this question depends on several factors, which can be reviewed with one of our experienced attorneys in a free consultation.

There are generally three types of product liability cases, based on the type of product defect:

• Defective design ”“ A product with a defective design is one that is inherently dangerous based on the way that it was designed. In these kinds of cases, an attorney must prove three things to establish the manufacturer’s liability: the manufacturer should have known the design would cause injury to users; there was an issue with the design that could be considered dangerous; and it would have been cost-effective to use a different, safer design and still fulfill the intended use of the product.
• Manufacturing defect ”“ A manufacturing defect case involves an error made during manufacturing that affects an entire batch of the product, making them all inherently dangerous to consumers.
• Marketing defect ”“ Products should have clear warnings and instructions on how they can be used safely. If warnings or instructions are unclear, the manufacturer could potentially be held liable for damages.

Manufacturers are not the only ones who could be held liable. Wholesalers, distributors and retailers could also bear some amount of fault for your injuries and damages.

These are complex cases that should be discussed with a qualified attorney. Call our firm any time to set up a free consultation with a Glendale product liability lawyer.

Proving Liability in a Defective Product Case

There are generally three legal theories that can be used to prove the manufacturer or another party may be liable for a consumer’s injuries:

Strict Liability

This legal theory is used in most product liability cases against manufacturers, designers and distributors. The plaintiff must show the product was defective and the defect caused injury.

Unlike other types of cases, victims do not need to prove the at-fault party breached a duty of care. The designer could have used reasonable care, but if the product was defective and was the reason for someone’s injury, the manufacturer could be held liable.

Negligence

In these cases, the attorney must prove the at-fault party breached a duty of care to act with reasonable care. The breach of duty of care must be linked to the victim’s injuries, and those injuries must have resulted in damages.

Breach of Warranty

Sometimes a manufacturer or retailer violates an expressly stated warranty about the product’s safety. Other times, there is a breach of the implied warranty. An implied warranty is usually offered by the manufacturer. It simply means the product is safe if used as it is intended.

Our Glendale product liability lawyers can review your situation during a free consultation to determine your legal options.

What Is My Case Worth?

If an attorney determines you have a viable case, you may be eligible to pursue three types of damages:

• Economic damages ”“ This includes damages linked to a specific economic loss, such as property damage, medical expenses and lost income.
• Non-economic damages ”“ Pain and suffering and emotional distress may be compensable as well.
• Punitive damages ”“ Although rare, punitive damages are sometimes awarded when the defendant’s actions were grossly negligent or intentional and the court wants to punish the defendant and deter others from engaging in similar behavior. You often see punitive damage awards in defective drug cases.

If you think you have a defective product claim, we encourage you to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can assess what your claim may be worth.

How Can a Lawyer Help?

Our Glendale defective product lawyers are dedicated to recovering maximum compensation for victims of defective products. If we take your case, we have the resources to manage the entire process, including interviewing witnesses, conducting an investigation, handling inquiries from the insurance company and filing the necessary paperwork.

While many cases settle, some do not, as at-fault parties do not offer fair compensation for the full cost of the victim’s damages. If this happens, our attorneys will be prepared to file a lawsuit if necessary. We have many years of combined experience in the courtroom and a track record of recovering favorable verdicts for our clients.

Deadlines for Filing an Injury Claim

Arizona’s statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years, this includes product liability cases (Arizona Revised Statutes 12-542). Therefore, in most situations, you must file your case within two years from the date of your injury caused by a defective product.

However, there are some exceptions to this deadline. For example, if you did not discover your injury until later, you may have more time to file your case. There is also a different deadline for minor victims.

This can be a complicated issue, which is why you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to determine how much time you may have left to file a claim. Our Glendale product liability lawyers have detailed knowledge of deadlines for personal injury claims and how to review claims to determine what deadlines may apply.

My husband and I have been clients of Phillips Law Group since 1999. Over that time, we have probably used their services 15 to 20 times for various reasons and have referred at least 100 people to them. What’s really great about Phillips & Associates is that, in addition to providing excellent service, if they don't believe they are absolutely the best firm for your case, they won’t take it. Instead, they refer you to another firm that can better handle your needs. This approach is unlike many other firms that might take a shot at handling your case, often learning on the job at the client's expense. Knowing that they would rather decline a case than risk giving the...

Took care of my case and told me there was a possibility of a higher settlement and I kinda forgot that they said that and was contacted by them more than a year later and was told there was another check at their office for me. Very down to earth people and will fight for you as hard as they can. Highly recommend their office to work with!

My name is Josh Porter. If you want to work with people that will move mountains for you in your case then hire Phillips Law Group. At the beginning of my lawsuit my kidney transplant of 30 years failed and the next four years became the hardest time of my life. There were days where we didn't know if I would make it. Phillips Law Group became my HOPE during this time in my life. In life I believe God will bring people across our path's that are super rare and a DIAMOND. At the beginning of my case I met my paralegal named Hannah Rios. Hannah is an amazing, caring, merciful, graceful, warrior, grab the bull by its horn...

Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

Erika A.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Rich S.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...
