Anaheim Defective Products Accident

Living in Anaheim means quick access to many amusement parks, sunshine year-round, and proximity to beaches and plenty of outdoor fun. But Anaheim residents aren’t immune from the risk of suffering an injury due to a defective product. At the offices of El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers, our Anaheim defective products accident attorneys can help you to understand your rights and build your case if you’ve been harmed. 

TYPES OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

Nearly any type of product has the potential to be defective – some are more dangerous than others. Types of defective products include, but are not limited to:

• Household furniture;
• children’s/baby’s furniture, including cribs;
• Household cleaning products;
• Household appliances and electronics;
• Motor vehicles;
• Tools and equipment;
• Clothing;
• Pharmaceutical drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter;
• Food products;
• Cosmetic products; and 
• More.

The three types of product defects are design defects (the product is defectively designed), manufacturing defects (the product is designed in a safe way, but something goes wrong during the manufacturing process that renders the product defective), and labeling defects (the product does not contain sufficient or adequate information for consumer safety). 

EXAMPLES OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCT-CAUSED ACCIDENTS 

When a product is defective, it can lead to consumer harm. Examples of defective-product caused accidents include:

• Rollovers in cars that are top-heavy;
• Airbags that inflate without an accident occurring;
• Furniture that tips over onto children;
• Pharmaceutical drugs that have serious adverse side effects;
• Electronics that catch fire spontaneously; and
• Many, many more.

Defective products are so common that the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPC) recalls hundreds of products each year. 

WHO’S LIABLE FOR AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? 

When a defective product causes an accident, a consumer may not know where to turn or what their rights are. In many cases, the company that manufactured the product, or anyone along the distribution line responsible for the defect/the consumer’s harm, may be held liable. Our lawyers can help you to prove that the product was defective, you were using the product as intended at the time of your accident, and that the product caused your injury. Our lawyers can also help you to prove the extent of damages you’ve suffered and the value of your claim. We can help you to hold the responsible party liable for the full extent of your economic and noneconomic damages associated with your injury.
