Connecticut Product Liability Lawyer

Defective Product Injury Claims

Every day, we use countless products to navigate our lives. From our cell phones to our cars to the medications we take, these products are designed to make our lives easier, safer, and better. But all too often, defective and dangerous products make it onto the market and into the hands of unsuspecting consumers, resulting in devastating accidents, serious injuries, and deaths that never should have happened.

If you or someone you love was harmed by a defective product, turn to the Connecticut product liability lawyers at RisCassi & Davis, P.C. For your convenience, we have broken our discussion of our product liability down into the more specific areas listed below.

Even if your Connecticut product liability claim does not fit perfectly into one of the categories below, give us a call at (860) 245-2412 to discuss your potential case during a free consultation.

And food and beverages

Types of Product Defects

First and foremost, it’s important to understand what makes a product defective. Just because a product is dangerous, this does not necessarily mean it has a defect. For example, a chainsaw is inherently dangerous, but a chainsaw that is missing a safety guard is defective.

Product defects fall into the following three categories:

Design defects
Manufacturing defects
Labeling/marketing defects

What Is Considered a Design Defect?

A design defect is a flaw in the actual design of the product, making it unreasonably unsafe for normal use. As a result, all products with that design will be faulty. A manufacturing defect occurs when the product has an acceptable design but is not manufactured correctly.

A product that is missing parts or that is contaminated during production would have a manufacturing defect. Lastly, labeling/marketing defects refer to products that are missing critical consumer information, such as instructions, safety/side effect warnings, choking hazard stickers, etc.

Automobile Defects

When vehicles are defective, or when they contain defect parts, this can lead to serious accidents.

At RisCassi & Davis, P.C., we have represented clients in all types of auto defect cases, including those involving:

Vehicle design
Airbags
Seatbelts
Engine components
Braking systems
Accelerators
Tires
Lights
Ignitions

We know how to investigate automobile accidents to determine whether a defect led to the crash and often work with a team of accident reconstructionists to build solid cases that prove what went wrong and who is liable.

Do You Have a Claim in Connecticut?

In order to have grounds for a product liability claim, you will have to show that the product had a flaw or defect and that this caused you injuries or harm, as well as measurable damages. Damages can include financial losses, such as medical bills and lost wages, and intangible losses, such as pain and suffering.

Additionally, you will have to prove that you were using the product as it was intended and without any modifications when you were injured. If you modified the product or were using it in some other way than it was intended, you could lose your right to receive compensation for your damages.
