Abbeville Product Liability Lawyer

You put your trust in the products you use every day with the belief that they are safe for you and your family. However, manufacturers and corporations can sometimes release harmful products that injure their users. Some even do it with knowledge of the potential danger, yet failing to warn their customers.

You can seek compensation in Louisiana if you or your family member has used a defective product that caused injuries. Our Abbeville product liability lawyer can help you file a claim or lawsuit to hold the responsible parties accountable. You could get compensation for any expenses, injuries, and losses you incurred because of the product.

Liability in Product Liability Cases We Handle

Multiple parties can share responsibility in product liability cases. Some of the parties our attorneys could file a claim or lawsuit against in Abbeville, LA, include:

Manufacturers

Manufacturers range from multinational companies to individual businesses. Any party involved in the designing or marketing of the product can share responsibility. You could claim compensation from manufacturers of specific defective parts or whole products.

Wholesalers

A wholesaler bridges the gap between the manufacturer and the final consumer. Those selling defective products advertise them for sale, implying that they are safe to use. This could be seen as a false advertisement, making the wholesaler at least partially responsible for the harm caused to users of the product.

Retailers

A retailer can also be liable for selling defective products. Anyone within the product’s distribution chain can bear responsibility for the defect. A product liability lawyer from our firm can help you identify all responsible parties in your case and file liability lawsuits against them in Abbeville.

What to Do After Using a Defective Product

Getting injured by a defective product after using it for its intended purpose gives you grounds for filing a product liability lawsuit. You can solidify your claim and improve your chances of getting compensation by following these steps after using a defective product:

Call the Police

It is not necessary to contact the authorities in all product liability cases, but it may be mandatory in some. One example of this is if you were in an automobile accident because of a faulty vehicle, resulting in injuries or fatalities.

A police officer will create an accident report containing details of your crash, such as the:

  • Location
  • Date
  • Time
  • Potential contributing factors, such as road or weather conditions

It can also contain information about any property damage or injuries sustained in the collision. Our lawyers can use this report as evidence when filing your Abbeville compensation case.

Get Medical Attention

Getting a medical evaluation right away is crucial. In addition to treatment, taking this step provides proof of the injuries you incurred from using a defective product.

Putting a visit to the doctor off gives the liable party grounds to dispute your claim. They might argue that your injuries resulted from something else or that your own actions worsened the injuries. Consider going to the doctor as soon as you can to avoid jeopardizing your case.

Store the Product

One thing you should avoid doing is getting rid of the product you used. Store it in a safe place instead, as it is an essential piece of evidence. Our lawyers will need the product to prove that it was defective for your claim to have a chance of succeeding.

Hire a Lawyer

Product liability lawsuits require attention to detail and complex legal processes. You might not have enough knowledge about such cases, putting you at risk of making critical mistakes.

Meanwhile, our team navigates these cases and the Louisiana legal system regularly. This means we have the necessary knowledge to fight for the compensation you seek.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury in Louisiana

Louisiana has a small window of time within which one can file a personal injury lawsuit. You need to file your lawsuit within a year of using a defective product, or the courts can dismiss your case. This can be hard to do alone, especially if dealing with recovery. A lawyer on our team can gather all the evidence necessary and file your lawsuit within the given window.

CTA CTA

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
