Defective Products

Lincoln, Nebraska, Product Liability Attorneys

A stop light shows green in all directions simultaneously, causing a fatal car crash. A machine press malfunctions, severing the operator's hand. A drug marketed as a remedy for arthritic pain causes a heart attack. When a poorly designed, defective, or unsafe product causes an injury, the industry that produced and marketed it can be held responsible for the victim's loss under federal and state product liability laws.

Product liability cases often involve lengthy and complex preparation and trials. There are strict limits on the time allowed to file personal injury claims. If you suspect your accident or injury was caused by a defective product, it is important to speak with an experienced product liability lawyer as soon as possible.
