Reasons to Hire a Product Liability Attorney
- Complex legal requirements: attorneys understand product liability laws, strict liability, and breach of warranty claims which vary significantly by state;
- Challenging evidence requirements: proving product defect, its connection to injury, and proper product use - attorneys know how to properly collect and present this evidence;
- Fighting big corporations: manufacturers have legal teams - without experience you risk unfavorable settlements or losing compensation opportunities. Our attorneys will protect your rights;
- No upfront costs: most cases work on contingency - we don't get paid until you receive compensation.
