St. Louis Product Liability Attorneys

Product Liability Claims in Missouri

A poorly designed product or a product with a manufacturing defect can have disastrous effects upon consumers. Household appliances, drugs, food, tires, child car seats, airbags and more are all products that we use every day. When any one of these products is unsafe, this can result in serious injury or even death. In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that over 29.5 million injuries and just under 22,000 fatalities are caused by defective products in the United States. Liability in these cases may be placed on the shoulders of the manufacturer, distributor or retailer - as they have a responsibility to consumers to comply with health and safety regulations and provide proper warning labels if a product poses a potential hazard.

If you have been injured or have lost a loved one due to a defective product, a skilled product liability attorney may be able to help you get compensation for your suffering. An attorney will be able to review your unique situation to determine whether you have a claim that has a chance of settling in or out of court. When you work with a Missouri product liability lawyer at Schultz Legal Group, you are getting the representation and dedication of a professional who can protect your rights and help you move on with your life.

An injured consumer may be able to sue the manufacturer or retailer for injuries he or she sustained while using a defective product. It will be up to your product liability lawyer to prove that there was a defect or flaw in the design or manufacturing, or an inadequate or missing warning label, which led to your injury. If your lawyer is able to effectively prove this, the court may order the at fault party to pay monetary compensation for medical expenses and other losses you experienced as a result of the injury. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded as a form of punishment in the case of gross negligence.

The attorneys at Schultz Legal Group apply both legal and engineering principles to evaluate products liability claims for our clients. We also offer a free consultation with one of our experienced product liability lawyers to review your case and determine whether we can help you.
