Product Liability

Injured by a defective consumer product?

U.S. law protects the rights and well-being of consumers by enforcing a number of laws regarding the responsibilities of those who make consumer products available to the public. Product liability law, as this legal area is known, makes manufacturers, retailers, and other similar entities legally responsible for any injuries, deaths, and/or damages caused by their products. Consumers who suffer injuries after using a product for its intended use have the right to pursue a recovery of their financial damages by filing a personal injury claim. As product liability law is complex and constantly in flux, these types of cases demand the attention of proven attorneys who have the resources, skills, and determination to hold companies and corporations responsible for the harm they cause to victims.

The attorneys of Balzarini & Watson have successfully represented persons injured by a wide range of defective products, including the following types of cases:
