Connecticut Product Liability Lawyers

Identifying Dangerous Products and Proving Liability

Dangerous and defective products are distributed across the country at an astounding rate. Whether a manufacturer has failed to adequately test a product or provide a sufficient warning label, consumers are always the ones exposed to the risk of a potentially dangerous product. When the general public is left in the dark about the household items that they possess, the consequences can be devastating, especially if the dangerous or defective product has made its way into the hands of a child or a loved one.

Fortunately, the law allows for victims to recover monetary compensation for the harm they have sustained through a product liability lawsuit. The Connecticut product liability lawyers at McCoy & McCoy have successfully handled defective products cases for 50+ years. If you or a loved one have been injured due to a defective product design, McCoy & McCoy’s defective product attorneys will fight for justice and pursue the maximum amount of compensation deserved.

What Do I Do If I Was Injured By A Defective Product?

If you have been injured due to the carelessness of a product’s maker, you maintain the right to pursue legal action.

1. Seek Information

Identify who was responsible for placing dangerous items on the shelf, as product liability laws can hold manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and distributors accountable for putting a faulty product on the market.

2. Assess Injuries

You must assess what type of injury you have suffered and how that injury came about.

3. Understand the Product Liability Laws

To start, it is important to understand that there are three types of defects that may exist, including a manufacturing defect, a design defect and a marketing defect – also known as a failure to warn.

Manufacturing Defectapplies to the poor construction of a product
Design Defectoccurs when the product was designed to be inherently dangerous
Marketing Defectrefers to improper or insufficient labeling

4. Enlist the Help of an Experienced Product Liability Attorney

as soon as possible

It is vital that you enlist the help of an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. It is important to act quickly, as the statute of limitations in the state mandates that you file a lawsuit within three years of the date of injury.

Even if you are unsure of whether or not you have grounds to file a lawsuit, our firm still welcomes the chance to assess your case and provide you with the information that you are looking for.

What Constitutes Product Liability For Dangerous and Defective Products?

The Connecticut Product Liability Act explains that “those who put defective products into the stream of commerce shall be liable to people who suffer injuries or damages.” To determine liability, however, the injured consumer must be able to show that:

1. The Product was sold or manufactured by the defendant

2. The product was defective in some way

3. The defect existed when it left the manufacturer

4. The defect ultimately caused an injury

Who can File a Product Liability Claim in Connecticut?

Consumers or users who have been harmed by a product containing defects can seek damages. Often times, this does not mean the owner of the defected product, it could be someone who the product was loaned or given to.
