St. Louis Defective Products Attorney
Whether it is a consumer product for use in the home, or an industrial product at work, designers, manufacturers and packagers have a responsibility to ensure public safety. When we use a product, we have the right to expect that all of the necessary testing has been done to ensure that it is safe for use by consumers. Any hazards presented by using the product under normal conditions must be clearly identified with proper warning labels and instructions for use. When negligent companies put defective products on the market, it can result in serious injury or the loss of a loved one in a fatal accident.
A Board Certified Trial Advocate on Your Side · AV Rated* · Super Lawyer
At the Bley & Evans, LC, we represent clients in a variety of product liability cases. If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed as the result of a defective product, you have the right to seek damages from the manufacturer and any other responsible parties. These cases can be very complex. The negligent parties and their insurance companies will do whatever they can to avoid responsibility and try to put the blame on you. In cases like these, you need strong representation from a qualified Columbia, Missouri, product liability attorney.
