Legal Representation for Injuries Caused by Defective and Dangerous Products
Injured by a defective or dangerous product? We hold manufacturers accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.
When Products Fail, People Suffer—We Make Sure Justice Doesn’t
Representing Consumers Hurt by Defective Products, Medications, and Machinery
Manufacturers have a legal responsibility to ensure the products they sell are safe for consumer use. When they cut corners, ignore safety protocols, or release items without proper testing or warnings, the results can be disastrous. From defective medical devices and unsafe toys to malfunctioning car parts and household appliances, faulty products can cause devastating injuries—or worse.
Pedro L. Salim Law Firm represents clients who have suffered serious harm due to dangerous products. These cases often require complex investigations, expert witnesses, and aggressive legal action against large corporations. We’re here to make sure that no one gets away with negligence just because they have deep pockets or a powerful legal team.
Product-related injuries often overlap with other serious claims, including traumatic brain injury, catastrophic injury, slip and fall accidents, or wrongful death.
Not All Defective Products Are Obvious—But the Harm Is Always Real
We Investigate Every Angle to Prove Faulty Design, Manufacturing, or Warning Failures
Product liability claims fall under three main categories, and each one requires a distinct approach:
- Design Defects – Flaws in the product's design make it inherently dangerous, even when used as intended.
- Manufacturing Defects – Something went wrong during production, making one or more units unsafe.
- Marketing/Warning Defects – The product lacked adequate warnings, labels, or instructions, leading to misuse and injury.
We handle product liability cases involving:
- Faulty brakes, airbags, and seatbelts in car accidents
- Defective helmets or gear in motorcycle crashes
- Flammable or toxic household items
- Dangerous toys or baby products
- Contaminated or mislabeled food and supplements
- Recalled prescription drugs and medical devices
- Power tools or appliances lacking safety features
- Failure to warn about known hazards
We work with product engineers, safety experts, and forensic investigators to expose the root cause of the defect and prove liability.
Faulty tires, brakes, or airbags can cause serious crashes. We hold automakers and parts manufacturers liable for negligence.
Medical Device Malfunctions
Devices like hip implants, pacemakers, or surgical mesh can fail internally, requiring emergency surgery or causing permanent damage.
Choking hazards, sharp edges, and toxic materials make certain products deadly. We represent families in these emotionally sensitive claims.
Defective Safety Equipment
A faulty helmet, seatbelt, or fire extinguisher can turn a survivable situation into a fatal one.
Exploding Batteries and Electronics
Lithium-ion battery failures in phones, e-scooters, and laptops have caused burns, fires, and explosions.
What Compensation Can I Recover in a Product Liability Case?
Holding Manufacturers Financially Responsible for Every Kind of Damage
If a defective product caused your injury, you may be entitled to full compensation for both immediate and long-term damages.
Our firm pursues:
- Medical bills (hospitalization, surgery, rehab)
- Lost wages and future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Disfigurement or disability
- Costs of long-term care
- Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members
- Punitive damages for gross corporate negligence
We also work to uncover whether others were harmed by the same product and, if appropriate, explore mass tort or class action options to amplify your claim.
Product Liability FAQs
Answers for Consumers Injured by Dangerous Products
What do I need to prove in a product liability case?
You must show the product was defective, you used it as intended, and the defect caused your injury. We gather evidence to support each element.
Can I still sue if I no longer have the product?
Yes, though your case may be more difficult. Witnesses, purchase records, or other samples may still support your claim.
What if I signed a waiver or disclaimer?
Waivers don’t always protect manufacturers—especially if gross negligence or defective design is involved.
Is the store that sold me the product responsible too?
Possibly. In some cases, retailers and distributors can be held liable under strict liability laws.
How long do I have to file a product liability claim?
Deadlines vary by state, but they generally range from 1 to 4 years from the date of injury or discovery. Contact us promptly to preserve your rights.
