Product Liability Attorneys
Serving Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and surrounding areas
Product liability lawsuits involve any injury or death that resulted from the use of a defective product. An example could be a death resulting from a rollover accident in a defective automobile, or a death or injury caused by taking a dangerous prescription drug.
The list of defective products that can cause severe injury is almost limitless and includes toys, flammable fabrics, machinery, household products, dietary supplements, car seats and more. The way in which a product is determined to be defective can also vary a great deal. It could have been manufactured or designed incorrectly, or the product might not contain the appropriate warning labels or instructions for use.
The type of damages the plaintiff can seek depends on the specifics of each case, but will generally include reimbursement for medical bills, current and future lost wages, pain and suffering, disfigurement and damages for permanent injury.
