Product Liability

Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, South Carolina

You may have noticed several products that have been recalled from the market over the year due to a defect. Some of them are requested to be withdrawn at the behest of the Food and Drug Administration, while others have been voluntarily removed by the company that manufacturers them. Still others are only recalled after consumers are sickened, injured, or lose their lives.

When this happens, people need to know that they can call on someone who will get them compensation they deserved. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product in the Greenville, Spartanburg, or Anderson, South Carolina area, please contact the experienced product liability attorneys at the Dick James Law Firm.

There are literally thousands of products that fall short of meeting safety standards required by federal and state agencies. Defective medical devices, dangerous drugs, and tainted food all fall under the umbrella of product liability. This kind of law allows consumers who have been injured or made ill to pursue compensation for damages against the manufacturer or seller of the product.

Chain of Responsibility

There is an entire chain of production that could ultimately be the cause for you or your loved one’s suffering, and one or more group may be responsible. These include:

• Design or Engineering Company
• Testing Laboratory
• Component Manufacturer
• Product Manufacturer
• Assemblers
• Distributor
• Repairers
• Retailer/Wholesaler

We trust that the products we purchase have been tested by manufacturers as well as they can be. If there are important warnings, then they will be placed on the packaging. Still, time and again this trust is violated by those in charge of getting the product from its creation to our hands.
On many occasions, it is children who are at the mercy of defective products. Lead-based paint covers their toys, pieces are swallowed, or they fall from defective high chairs or cribs. In each of these events there is a chance for a life-altering injury. In addition to children, every day people are made seriously ill due to E. coli, salmonella, or other food borne pathogens.

It is important that those who are in charge of creating and selling these products be made accountable if they have hurt you or your loved one in some way. Many people will require legal assistance to get deserved compensation.

If you or a loved one has been injured or sickened due to a defective product, please contact the experienced product liability attorneys at the Dick James Law Firm. We serve the Spartanburg, Greenville, and Anderson, South Carolina area.
