Defective Products

Dangerous and Defective Products

A person injured because of their use of a defective product may be eligible for compensation for their injuries, medical bills, lost income, and other costs of a serious injury. Products can be defective for several reasons, including design defects, manufacturing defects, or marketing and packaging defects. All of these can lead to a product that causes injuries or death.

At Peach & Weathers, we have more than 25 years of experience helping people who have been injured because of someone's negligence. We have successfully obtained compensation for injuries, medical bills, lost income, and other costs of a serious accident. When that accident is the result of a defective product, our attorneys use the remedies available through product liability lawsuits to get people the resources they need and deserve to recover.

Products can be defective because of poor design, poor manufacturing, or poor marketing and labeling

Determining the exact source of the defect often requires engineers and other specialists, as there may be multiple problems. Our lawyers have the resources and access to experts to determine where in the chain of distribution the liability for the defect rests. Examples of defective products include:

• SUVs that roll over because their center of gravity is too high
• Defective medical devices unsuitable for patients with certain conditions
• Tires that blow out, causing motor vehicle accidents
• Toys not intended for small children but with no warning label
• Cars with defective steering gear caused by metallurgical cracks
• Airline wings that develop metal fatigue because the alloy did not meet specifications
• Chairs not strong enough to hold people of normal weight
• Power tools with a defective electrical switch

If you have been injured by a manufactured product, it is important to seek the advice of a knowledgeable lawyer right away. Beginning an investigation early preserves vital evidence. It also ensures that you will not lose your right to sue because the statute of limitations expires. If you believe you have been injured because of a defective or dangerous product, contact Peach & Weathers. We have offices in San Bernardino, Riverside, and Rancho Cucamonga for your convenience.
