How Do Defective Products Cause Injuries?
Every year, thousands of people are injured by unsafe or dangerous products . But what makes a product unsafe isn’t always the same type of defect.
Generally, products have three different types of defects, and filing a claim for your injuries and damages requires you or a lawyer to figure out which ones caused you harm.
They are:
- Defective Design – Some products have a design with some sort of inherent flaw that makes them unreasonably dangerous to use. These products can be said to have been defectively designed.
- Defective Manufacturing – Sometimes a product’s design might be safe, but it’s the final product itself that deviates from the original design and proves unsafe to consumers.
- Defective Marketing – This form of a product defect refers to a product’s lack of written instructions for safe use or lack of warning about potential consequences of unsafe use.
Regardless of the actual problem with a product, what’s clear is that unsafe consumer products can have disastrous consequences, with severe injuries up to and including death.
When someone else’s mistake causes you or a loved one pain, you deserve justice. And you might be surprised that more entities than just the manufacturer can be held liable for your injuries. Some other examples include:
- Distributors
- Wholesalers
- Retailers
- Third-party contractors
If you’re unsure about the potential at-fault parties in your defective product claim, you can talk to an experienced product liability lawyer who can ensure that all responsible parties are served with a lawsuit.
What Kind of Compensation Can I Get in a Defective Product Claim?
The actual value of a product liability claim can depend on a number of factors, including the extent of your injuries and damages, as well as the gravity of the negligence the implicated parties are responsible for.
Generally, damages in these claims are broken down into two types: economic and non-economic damages. Some examples of both of these include:
- Lost income
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional turmoil
You can contact an attorney to learn more about how you can maximize the amount of compensation available to you in a product liability claim.

Client Reviews
“I was concerned with all the paperwork”
Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
