Product liability cases are essential for ensuring that manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are held accountable when defective products cause harm.

Understanding Product Liability
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers for injuries caused by defective products. These cases are based on the principle that consumers have a right to expect safe and reliable products. When corporations fail to meet these expectations, the consequences can be devastating.
Common Types of Product Defects:
- Manufacturing Defects: Errors during the production process that result in unsafe products.
- Design Defects: Flaws in a product’s design that make it inherently dangerous, even when manufactured correctly.
- Failure to Warn: Lack of adequate instructions or warnings about the risks associated with using a product.
Examples of product liability cases include:
- Defective medical devices causing severe injuries or complications.
- Dangerous toys or household items leading to harm, especially for children.
- Faulty vehicle components contributing to accidents or fatalities.
GGALLP specializes in uncovering the evidence necessary to demonstrate corporate negligence, ensuring that victims receive the compensation they deserve.
The Impact of Defective Products
The consequences of defective products can be catastrophic, affecting individuals physically, emotionally, and financially. Victims often face medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing health issues resulting from their injuries. Beyond the financial toll, these incidents can cause emotional distress, impacting victims’ quality of life and relationships.
For many, the damage extends beyond personal harm, as defective products often represent a breach of trust in the marketplace. Holding corporations accountable is not only about securing justice for victims—it also ensures that others are protected from future harm. GGALLP takes pride in representing clients who seek to create systemic change by challenging negligent corporations.
