An innumerable variety of different products are sold to consumers annually and most buyers trust that these products are safe to purchase and use. Unfortunately, there are many instances in which this trust proves to be misplaced and consumers suffer direct physical harm through no fault of their own. When this occurs, it is often due to a problem inherent in the design of the item, and it may be appropriate for the injured party to consider seeking financial compensation through a product liability lawsuit.
If you or your loved one has been harmed by a defective product, we can help you to determine whether legal action might be in your best interest. Contact the experienced Denver design defect lawyers of Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., by calling (303) 423-1770 to discuss your legal rights and options with a capable and aggressive attorney.
If a product is released to the market without defective aspects of its design having been identified and resolved, it is far more likely to malfunction and cause injury than a product whose design is carefully evaluated and deemed to be safe. Some of the potential dangers of products that have design errors might involve:
It is regrettable that these safety threats are often not identified until it is too late to prevent harm. Fortunately, if a consumer is injured by a poorly designed product, he or she might be able to recover compensation for medical bills and other pertinent damages.
