Do I Have a Product Liability Case?

If you were injured by a defective product, you may be able to take legal action against the manufacturer, designer or seller of the product. However, each case is unique, so it is important to talk to an experienced product liability lawyer to learn if you have the legal basis to file a claim.

Typically, you must be able to prove one of the following legal theories to be eligible for compensation:

Strict Liability

When you use a product, you expect it to be safe to use. Strict liability holds parties responsible for defective products. As long as certain criteria are met, you do not need to establish the manufacturer was negligent.

For strict liability to apply, you must be able to establish the following:

• The product contained an unreasonably dangerous defect that injured you
• You used the product in the way it was intended to be used at the time you were injured
• The product’s condition was not substantially changed from its original condition after you purchased it
• You made the claim against a manufacturer who regularly sells the product in the course of business

Negligence

When a company’s carelessness results in bodily injury or property damage, this may be considered negligence. To establish a claim based on negligence, you must be able to prove the following legal elements:

• Duty of care ”“ You must prove the other party owed you a duty of care. For example, a manufacturer has a legal duty to use ordinary care to produce safe and effective products.
• Breach of duty ”“ The other party breached the duty of care by failing to exercise that care as a reasonable person or entity would under similar circumstances. For example, a company may have failed to provide quality checks of its products or to warn consumers about a known issue with the product.
• Causation ”“ The other party’s actions were the direct cause of the injuries you suffered. This element is often the most difficult to establish and having a reputable attorney on your side can help you establish this element.
• Damages ”“ You suffered damages because of the negligent act, such as property damage, medical bills or loss of wages.

Breach of Implied or Express Warranty

A warranty is a type of guarantee that a seller gives regarding the quality of a product. This may be either an express or implied warranty.

An express warranty is one that the manufacturer clearly states, such as stamping it on its product box. It will usually state how long the product will last for. An implied warranty applies to most consumer products over a certain value but only provides a basic level of protection for consumers.

In either case, if the product does not work as warranted, the seller could be held liable for breach of warranty.

Our Flagstaff product liability attorneys have a detailed knowledge of Arizona’s product liability laws. We are prepared to conduct a thorough investigation to determine if one of the legal theories discussed above applies to your claim.

Types of Defective Products

Defective products are usually classified in one of the following categories:

• Manufacturing defect ”“ A manufacturing defect occurs when a product was defectively manufactured. There is some error that occurs while making the product, such as a problem with a machine at the factory where it was produced. This defect makes the product dangerous to use.
• Design defect ”“ This type of defect involves a product that is inherently dangerous based on how it was designed. The design of the product is flawed, such as a certain car model that has a tendency to flip over when turning a corner or appliances that can electrocute the user when turned on high.
• Defective warning ”“ The final classification occurs when there are not adequate warnings or instructions. A product may be dangerous in some way that is not obvious to the consumer and requires extra precautions but the manufacturer fails to provide this information. For example, certain drugs may adversely react with other drugs.

What Is My Case Worth?

One of the most important aspects in evaluating a product liability claim is determining the types and amounts of damages you have suffered. Defective products can cause a variety of damages, including damage to your property, bodily injury or even death. The value of your case will depend on several factors, including the damages that you have sustained.

You may be able to receive compensation for the economic damages that you have sustained, which are those damages that can be tied to a certain monetary value, such as:

Additionally, you may be able to receive compensation for non-economic damages. These damages are not easily quantifiable and represent the physical and emotional damage you suffered, such as:

We encourage you to contact us to find out what your claim may be worth.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Defective Product?

As part of our representation, we will identify all parties who may be responsible for your damages. Some of the parties that may be held liable for a defective product include the:

Time Limits for Filing Product Liability Claims

There is only a limited amount of time to file a product liability claim. The deadline to file is usually two years from the date the injury happened caused by the defective product. If you attempt to file after the deadline passes, your case will likely be dismissed and you will be barred from recovering compensation.

There are certain exceptions to this deadline. In some situations, you will have less time to file. In others, you will have more time. Arizona follows the discovery rule, so if you did not know that your injuries were caused by the defective product, you may have two years from the date of discovering this connection to file your claim. We recommend getting in touch with a knowledgeable Flagstaff product liability lawyer from our firm to determine the deadline that applies given your particular circumstances.

I had the pleasure of working with Juan Roque. I was hitting a block wall on an issue for one of my sellers. I didn't have the first clue of where to start! I walked into Phillips Law Group and asked for a few people that I knew and Juan was the individual that was available to assist me. I explained my issue thoroughly to Juan and he took the challenge. He made a few phone calls. He provided me his findings and it helped me with the steps I needed to do to resolve the issue and look like a hero to my sellers. I appreciate him being able to visit with me when I didn't even have an...

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...

Emily N.

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...
