Every year, hundreds of thousands of people are injured by harmful products.

As a cautious consumer, you may have gone to great lengths to research your motor vehicle before you made the purchase. If you have a young child, you may have spent weeks reading information about car seats to ensure that the one you chose was safe. Even though you did everything possible to protect yourself and your family, there is an outside factor in which you have no control.

The term, "product liability," refers to the liability of parties involved in the manufacturing and distribution process of a victim's injuries that were caused by defective products. Product liability cases are generally categorized as follows:

Products that are defectively designed.
Flaws in the manufacturing process.
The manufacturer's failure to warn consumers of a known product hazard.

Companies involved in the manufacturing and distribution process have a duty to provide products that are safe and designed properly. Unfortunately, an alarming number of defective products are still frequently placed on the market. These harmful products can cause serious injuries or death.

When automotive products such as, airbags, seat belts or tires have major defects, the result can be catastrophic. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that motor vehicle crashes associated with tire problems cause approximately 660 deaths each year and 33,000 injuries.
