If you buy a product, you shouldn’t have to sit and question the safety of the item you bought, you should have a good idea that if used in the proper way indicated on the packaging that you will stay safe. If this turns out to be untrue and you or a loved one is injured or killed by a product, you can sue the company responsible for its manufacture and distribution. When you have been victimized by a defective product, please call the Law Offices of Gilbert and Smallman and speak with a skilled Miami personal injury attorney.

Products can become defective by one of three means. A poor design can result in a product that is unsafe by nature. In many cases of collapsing cribs and strollers, this is the reason. The next cause is manufacturing errors. In these situations, a product is designed fine, but the company that actually produced the item added a dangerous flaw. If your child fell victim to lead poisoning after using a toy manufactured in China, this is most likely the reason. Lastly, a product can be made dangerous by not including proper warnings and instructions with its packaging. This is what’s known as a marketing error and can involve situations such as suffocation hazards to children. If you aren’t sure which kind of error caused your injuries, your Miami personal injury lawyer can help you figure out how and why the accident occurred.
