Types of Product Defects

There are three different types of product defects that may give rise to a lawsuit if the defect causes an injury:

• Defective design ”“ The design of the product is inherently dangerous. That means there is an unreasonable risk of injury when the product is used as intended. In these types of claims, you generally need to prove it would have been cost-effective for the designer to use an alternative design that would have still allowed the product to be used as intended.
• Manufacturing defect ”“ There was some type of error during the manufacturing process that made the product unreasonably dangerous.
• Marketing defect ”“ If the product did not have proper warnings or instructions about how to use the product in a safe manner, victims may have grounds for a claim or lawsuit.

Manufacturers are not the only parties that may be held liable for a defective product injury. Retailers, distributors, wholesalers and others in the supply chain could also be held liable.

Legal Theories in Product Liability Cases

In a product liability case, your attorney is likely to apply one of three legal theories to hold another party liable, such as:

• Strict liability ”“ Most defective product cases are filed under the theory of strict liability. Victims generally need to prove the product was unreasonably dangerous for its intended use and it caused the injury.
• Negligence ”“ Your attorney must prove your injury resulted from the negligence of the at-fault party, unlike a strict liability claim where you do not need to prove negligence. There are four elements of negligence, each of which must be proven with evidence.
• Breach of warranty ”“ The manufacturer may have breached an implied or express warranty. An express warranty is stated in the instructions or other marketing or labeling for the product. For example, this may include instructions on how to use the product safely. An implied warranty applies to most products and is an unwritten understanding between the manufacturer and consumer that the product is safe for its intended use.

Our Peoria product liability lawyers are prepared to review your situation and determine the legal theory that may apply to your claim.

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...

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. 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...

How Much Compensation Can I Recover?

The amount of compensation you may be eligible to receive depends on the details of your case. For example, if your injury caused permanent damage, you may be eligible to receive compensation for future medical expenses and loss of earning capacity if you cannot return to work or must work in a different field.

There are generally three types of compensation you may be eligible to recover in a product liability case:

• Economic damages ”“ These are the out-of-pocket expenses caused by your injury or illness such as medical bills, lost income from missing work, property damage and loss of earning capacity.
• Non-economic damages ”“ These are the physical and emotional damages that result from an injury, such as pain and suffering and other types of emotional trauma. Other examples include loss of companionship and lost enjoyment of life. Our experienced attorneys have many years of experience calculating the value of these damages, which do not have a defined value.
• Punitive damages ”“ If the at-fault party was found to have been egregiously negligent or acted with malice, punitive damages may be available. These damages are used to penalize at-fault parties and prevent others from engaging in the same activity. The media often reports on massive punitive damage awards in cases involving prescription drugs or medical devices.

Is There a Time Limit to File my Claim?

Most product liability claims must be filed within two years of the injury. However, there are some exceptions to this general rule. For example, if you were injured as a minor, you have up to two years after your 18th birthday to file your claim.

If you are unsure about the deadline for your claim, contact one of our Peoria product liability attorneys as soon as possible. If you fail to file your claim before the deadline passes, you may lose the right to recover compensation.

What Can an Experienced Lawyer Do for Me?

Our product liability lawyers have extensive knowledge of the laws and legal theories that apply to these cases and how to prove fault for a defective product injury. If you have a case and hire our firm, we are prepared to conduct a detailed investigation, handle all communication with insurance companies and attorneys and negotiate for a fair settlement.
