We’ll go over side effects you may be feeling, medical bills that may have resulted, and any overall serious injuries so that we can help you or your loved one put together a successful product liability claim.
Product Liability Lawsuits And Defective Product Claims
Product liability cases are different from the cases that many personal injury attorneys might take. In these special cases, it has to be proven that there was something fundamentally wrong with the product that caused your injuries. You can’t just make a claim because something hurt you. The drug or product that injured you must have a defective design or manufacturing defect that makes it unsafe.
You’ll need an experienced attorney on your side that understands how to investigate these special cases and put together the proof that is needed for a successful outcome. The process of proving liability in defective product cases is not the same as proving it in average personal injury cases.
Kansas City Product Liability Lawyers
As most of our clients know, Kansas City is in the only city in the country that exists in two states at the same time, Missouri and Kansas. This situation creates differences in how some things will work depending on where you reside, where you were injured, where you are making your claim, and where any local company you are making a claim against might be located.
Not only do we have experience in dealing with the differences between these two states, but we’re also extremely familiar with product liability lawsuits on a national level
