Tolleson Defective Products Lawyer

Products for sale must be safe for their anticipated uses. When they malfunction and cause an injury, the manufacturers might have to pay compensation.

Product liability law is complex, and securing appropriate compensation from a manufacturer requires legal knowledge and skill. Discuss your situation with an experienced Tolleson defective products lawyer as soon after the incident as possible.

Any Malfunctioning Product Could Lead to a Lawsuit

Product liability law applies to almost anything sold in the United States. When a product is not safe for use as directed, or as a manufacturer might reasonably anticipate someone would use it, the manufacturer is strictly liable for any losses or injury the product causes.

Almost any product that does not function safely when used properly could be the subject of a lawsuit against the manufacturer. Some examples of products that have injured or endangered people recently include the following:

• C-PAP machines
• Baby furniture
• Mini pressure cookers
• Automobile airbags
• Roundup pesticide
• Baby formula
• E-cigarettes
• Talcum powder

The federal Consumer Products Safety Commission can issue warnings or recall products when it receives reports of unacceptable risk of injury, and these actions can be evidence in a lawsuit against the manufacturer.

When many people are affected by a specific defective product, they might participate in a class action lawsuit or a mass tort case. These types of lawsuits are efficient ways of handling multiple claims against the same manufacturer. However, when a product injures an individual and there are few reports of other similar malfunctions or injuries, a Tolleson attorney could file an individual product liability lawsuit.

Understand the Applicable Time Limits

The law requires anyone seeking compensation for injuries to file a lawsuit within two years of the accident date. When the cause of the injury was the use of or exposure to a dangerous product, such as a lawsuit seeking compensation for illnesses or conditions related to pesticide exposure or using a particular hand lotion, the date of the last exposure is the date the two-year clock starts running.

However, some products have a long life, and the law protects manufacturers from lawsuits concerning products that they sold in the distant past. Arizona Revised Statutes §12-551 says a consumer cannot bring a lawsuit for injuries caused by a product that left the manufacturer’s control more than 12 years ago, regardless of how recently the accident happened.

Some who sustains injuries in an accident or receives a diagnosis of a condition or illness that might be related to exposure to a dangerous product should consult a Tolleson attorney from our firm as quickly as possible. Our legal professionals can investigate the situation and determine whether a claim against the manufacturer is viable.

Compensation in Product Liability Cases

When someone proves a manufacturer is responsible for their injury or health condition, the manufacturer is liable to pay compensation. In the legal context, compensation is usually called damages.

An injured person’s claim would include a demand for economic damages. These are the costs the injured person incurred or will incur due to the harm the defective product caused. Economic damages include lost income, medical costs, property damage, and incidental expenses. An injured person can prove their economic damages by producing documentation like receipts, invoices, tax returns, and similar evidence.

Non-economic damages include money a manufacturer pays an injured or ill person for the pain, inconvenience, humiliation, and emotional trauma they experience. Non-economic damages could also compensate for scarring and disfigurement, lost enjoyment of life, temporary or permanent disability, and similar issues. A Tolleson attorney could work with an injured person, their family, and other associates to document the changes in their quality of life since the encounter with the defective product.

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.

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...
