SPECIALIZING IN SERIOUS INJURY REQUIRING AN EXPERIENCED LITIGATOR

No one expects a product they use every day to become the cause of a serious injury. Whether it’s a vehicle, a medication, a household appliance, or a child’s toy, manufacturers have a legal responsibility to ensure their products are reasonably safe for consumers. When they fail to meet this duty and someone is hurt as a result, Georgia law allows injury victims to hold those companies accountable. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective or dangerous product, a skilled product liability attorney can help you seek the compensation you deserve.

Product liability is the area of law that deals with injuries caused by defective products. In Georgia, companies that design, manufacture, or sell products can be held legally responsible when their products cause harm. These cases often fall under the principle of “strict liability,” meaning you don’t have to prove the company was negligent, only that the product was defective and that defect caused your injury.

There are generally three types of product defects:

• Design defects: flaws in the original design that make the product inherently dangerous
• Manufacturing defects: errors or problems during the production process that render the product unsafe
• Failure to warn: missing instructions, inadequate safety warnings, or improper labeling that leads to injury

Defective products can appear in nearly every category of consumer goods. Some of the most common examples include:

• Prescription medications with undisclosed side effects
• Vehicles with faulty airbags, brakes, or fuel systems
• Household appliances that overheat or catch fire
• Children’s toys with choking hazards or toxic materials
• Contaminated food or beverages with mislabeled ingredients

These types of products are often distributed widely before the problem is discovered, meaning hundreds or even thousands of people may be at risk before action is taken.

The injuries caused by dangerous products can be severe and, in some cases, life-altering. Victims may suffer:

• Burns, lacerations, or broken bones from product malfunctions
• Internal injuries or organ damage from harmful medications
• Head trauma from defective safety equipment
• Long-term illness caused by toxic exposure
• Scarring or disfigurement requiring surgery

In many cases, these injuries come with significant medical costs, time away from work, and emotional trauma that can last long after the physical wounds have healed.

To succeed in a product liability case in Georgia, you must show that:

• You were injured while using a product
• The product was defective
• That defect directly caused your injury
• You were using the product as it was intended to be used

This may sound straightforward, but these cases are often complex and require careful investigation. At Eric Rogers Law, we work with product experts, engineers, and medical professionals to help prove the defect and connect it to your injuries.
