“Product liability” refers to holding companies accountable when the products they design, make, or sell are unsafe. These claims arise when a defect in a consumer or industrial product leads to serious injury or death.

Defective product fatality claims can involve the following types of product defect:

Every case is different, but families may recover compensation for:
Injury victims and those harmed by defective products may suffer serious injuries or a defective product-related injury. Compensation is designed to address the full impact on the injury victim and their family.
While no amount of money can replace your loved one, fair compensation helps bring stability and sends a message that negligence will not be tolerated.
Losing a loved one to a defective product is devastating, and navigating the legal process can feel overwhelming during such a difficult time. That’s why working with experienced Phoenix product liability lawyers is essential; they can guide you through every step and help you recover compensation for your losses.
The process begins with a thorough investigation to determine whether a defective product was the cause of the wrongful death. This involves examining the product’s design, the manufacturing process, and any potential manufacturing defects that may exist. Phoenix product liability attorneys will look for evidence that the product was unreasonably dangerous or that a manufacturing defect or design flaw made it unsafe for consumers.
If a defect is identified, your Phoenix product liability lawyer will help you file a product liability claim against all responsible parties, which may include the product’s manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. Building a strong case requires gathering crucial evidence, such as medical records, expert testimony, and witness statements, to show that the manufacturer breached their duty to provide a safe product and that this breach directly led to your loved one’s wrongful death.
In Arizona, many product liability claims are based on the doctrine of strict liability. This means that the manufacturer can be held responsible for a defective product even if they did not act negligently. Your legal team will explain how strict liability applies to your case and work to prove that an unreasonably dangerous defect existed.
Throughout the legal process, your Phoenix product liability attorney will fight to ensure you receive fair compensation for your losses. This can include economic damages like medical bills and lost income, as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. The goal is to help you recover compensation that brings stability and justice to your family.
Time is of the essence in product liability cases. Arizona law sets strict deadlines for filing a liability claim. That’s why it’s important to contact a law firm as soon as possible for a free consultation. During your initial consultation, your Phoenix product liability lawyer will review your case, explain the legal process, and discuss the likelihood of a successful claim. They’ll also outline their contingency fee arrangement, so you won’t pay any attorney’s fees unless they secure compensation for you.
Beyond helping your family, pursuing a product liability lawsuit can also promote consumer safety by holding manufacturers accountable for dangerous and defective products. By taking action, you help prevent similar tragedies and encourage safer design and manufacturing practices for all consumer products.
