Experienced Vancouver Dangerous and Defective Product Lawyers
When a dangerous or defective product or device causes you harm, the manufacturer should take responsibility. Unfortunately, many large corporations
and manufacturers will do anything to avoid liability. They even have large legal teams on their side working around the clock to reduce their claims. Shouldn’t you have someone on yours?
At Schauermann Thayer, we have the skills and resources to handle complex product liability cases. Our Vancouver dangerous and defective product lawyers have nearly 40 years of experience helping victims get the justice they deserve.
We are not afraid to go toe-to-toe with product manufacturers, including large international corporations. We can provide a free case evaluation if you suffered an injury, or tragically lost a loved one, and believe a dangerous product was the cause.
We know that you trusted the manufacturer to produce a safe and reliable product. When that product causes you harm, you have a right to seek compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering. Our law firm can help you do that.
What Type of Dangerous and Defective Products Fall Under Product Liability
There are many reasons why a product can be dangerous or defective. The design can be faulty, the manufacturer may have cut corners during production, or it might have failed to test the product properly before launch. No matter why a product is defective, consumers have a right to hold manufacturers liable for the harm they’ve suffered.
Any product can be the basis for a product liability case if it results in serious injury, including:
- Medical devices;
- Dangerous drugs and pharmaceuticals;
- Toys;
- Automotive parts;
- Clothing;
- Playground equipment; and/or
- Tools and construction equipment.
Proving Product Liability in Vancouver
Product liability laws require that all injured consumers show the following elements when trying to win a liability case:
- You suffered injury or losses;
- The product contained a defect;
- The defect caused your injury; and
- You used the product “as intended”.
In general, there are three main types of product defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects.
Manufacturing Defects
Manufacturing defects occur when a product is damaged during the construction or production of that item. In these cases, not all items are defective, just the one you used. Your attorney will need to show that the product you used contained a defect that led to your injury.
Design Defects
Design defects are a bit harder to establish. These defects exist before the product is produced, meaning that all products will contain this defect. A common example is a defective airbag design.
Marketing Defect
When a company markets a product, they must do so responsibly. Failure to warn of a hazard is one way that manufacturers can be held accountable for their faulty products. Failure to provide adequate warnings can lead to serious injury.
