When you’ve been harmed by a defective product, whether it’s faulty medical equipment or a recently purchased household item, Rico Lively is here to help. With years of experience holding manufacturers and distributors accountable, Rico works to secure compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and long-term care.
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, or sellers for harm caused by a defective product. If a product is defectively designed, improperly manufactured, or lacks adequate safety warnings, and you’re injured as a result, those involved in creating or selling the product can be held liable.
When a product’s design is inherently dangerous, the manufacturer may be liable if safer alternatives existed but weren’t used. Rico will investigate your claim and work to secure justice for you.
Even with a safe design, errors in production can lead to dangerous products. Rico investigates where the process went wrong and holds those responsible accountable.
Manufacturers must provide clear warnings about potential risks. Rico pursues claims when insufficient warnings cause injuries and holds negligent companies liable.

Yes, preserving the product in its post-accident condition is crucial for proving your case. Success in proving your product liability claim often requires that you keep the item that caused you harm so that experts can examine it and show that its failure truly caused your injury. In a courtroom, evidence is essential to win a trial, so the more evidence you have, the stronger your case.
Product liability cases can involve a wide range of items, including medical devices, household appliances, car parts, children's toys, and even prescription drugs. If any of these products caused your injury, you may have a claim.
Several parties may be held responsible, including the manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or any entity involved in the chain of production. Rico will investigate your case to identify all liable parties and hold them accountable.
A product recall can strengthen your case, but it is not required for a successful claim. Rico will use recall evidence, when available, to help demonstrate that the product was unsafe and should not have been on the market.
