Defective Products

Albany Defective Products Lawyers

Any product, from simple household items to complex machinery, may contain design defects that  can injure or even kill users. Some products can also become defective and injure users through their normal use. Toys, tools, appliances — almost anything can either be designed with a defect built-in, or be defective because of a manufacturing flaw. At Friedman Hirschen and Miller LLP, we advise clients to retain the defective product if there is a possibility of a claim. This will preserve the evidence of the defect and make your case stronger. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, contact our product liability lawyers to find out how we can help.

What Kinds of Products Become Defective?
Almost any kind of manufactured product may become defective or be designed with an integral flaw. The liability for the defect can rest with the manufacturer, the designer, the seller, or anyone in between; it depends on the nature of the defect. Our Schenectady products liability attorneys have filed successful claims for defects in the design, manufacture, packaging, and marketing of products such as

Which Defective Product Injuries Can be Compensated?
The injuries caused by defective products are as varied as the products themselves. Our clients have suffered burn injuries from gas grills, boiler explosions, and pressurized household supplies. Children have been severely cut as a result of a toy shattering into very sharp pieces or having exposed screws. Improperly designed or manufactured furniture has tipped over or broken under normal use, causing a fall with possible head injuries or fractures. Wheelchair ramps have buckled, further injuring the chair user and resulting in loss of function. Poor or incomplete directions for installation or assembly of products have left them dangerous. Inadequate warning labels about an unavoidable danger in a product have caused many kinds of damage, including catastrophic injuries. Contact our Albany defective products lawyers at Friedman Hirschen and Miller LLP, to discuss filing a defective products claim.
