What is Product Liability?

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.

Types of Product Defects Rico Handles:

Design Defects

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.

Manufacturing Defects

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.

Failure to Warn

Manufacturers must provide clear warnings about potential risks. Rico pursues claims when insufficient warnings cause injuries and holds negligent companies liable.

“Basically I was hit by two vehicles. I was hurt and really confused about what to do. Both the vehicles that hit me fled the scene and I didnt even think I had a case! But thanks to Rico Lively I was reassured in this process and given the opportunity to recover my losses. Thank you so much. I will refer as many people as I can to you and your firm. I never had an issue with communication and was always kept abreast of all proceedings.”

“I obtained Rico Lively's services in 2021 for a slip & fall that resulted in me having two surgeries. After having a few conversations with him on the phone, I knew I was dealing with a straight shooter who knew his field very well. Throughout the process Mr. Lively was compassionate, always kept in tough with me to let me know what was going on. I had lawyers in the past for a car accident and they could use more schooling from Rico. Rico is truly a diamond in the rough. You'd be silly not to get his services if you're injured. He truly understands these cases & 100 % will fight for you until you get what you deserve. He did it for me and delivered my check today. I can honestly say I am very happy with my amount. It was bittersweet to say goodbye to him today. I wanted to keep him for life and guaranteed I will go back running to him if I ever need his services again. I have already told friends in my area about him. He is worth every penny. He left an amazing impression on me. I will never forget his professionalism, kindness etc. He is an all around great human. Highly recommend!!!!! 100%”

FAQ’S

Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care expenses, depending on the severity of the injury.

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.
