Do I Have a Valid Case?
If you were injured because of one of the product defects listed below, you may have a valid case for compensation. Our attorneys need to discuss the situation with you in a free consultation to properly validate your claim.
Defective Design
This means the design of the product made it unreasonably dangerous for consumers. Your attorney must prove the manufacturer should have known the design was dangerous and would cause an injury. He or she must also establish that there was an alternative design that could have been used and this design would still have been cost-effective.
Manufacturing Defect
A problem during the manufacturing process caused the product to become unreasonably dangerous. This type of defect usually affects a batch of the product rather than the entire line of products.
Marketing Defect
When a product lacks clear warnings and instructions on safe usage, consumers can suffer an injury and the manufacturer could be held liable for damages, if the product was used for its intended purposes.
There are multiple parties that could share liability for a defective product injury, including distributors, wholesalers, retailers and other parties in the supply chain.

Liability in a Defective Product Case
In any personal injury case, including a defective product case, your lawyer must prove another party is liable for your injury. While most personal injury cases apply the legal theory of negligence to determine liability, there are two other legal theories that may apply in a product liability claim, including strict liability and breach of warranty.
Strict liability is used often in product liability cases. Essentially, victims just need to prove the product was defective and the defect caused an injury. You do not need to prove the defect resulted from negligence of the manufacturer or product designer.
Breach of warranty means the manufacturer or retailer violated an express or implied warranty and this led to your injury. An express warranty is often on the product packaging or instructions, while an implied warranty applies to most products and means the product should be safe if used as intended.
Negligence means there was a breach of a duty of care owed to the victim and this directly led to an injury that caused damages. A duty of a care is a legal obligation to take reasonable steps to help prevent an injury to someone else. Your lawyer will need to prove that the breached duty of care directly led to your damages.

How Much Could My Case Be Worth?
Generally, the more severe an injury, the more a case could be worth. This is often because a more severe injury requires long-term medical treatment, and the cost of this treatment can add up quickly. Severe injuries can also cause long-term pain and suffering and have a negative impact on a victim’s ability to continue working and earning the same salary as before the injury.
In an injury claim, there are three types of damages: economic, non-economic and punitive. The first type refers to out-of-pocket costs from an injury, like medical bills, lost income and property damage. The value of these damages is based on bills, receipts and other similar documentation.
Non-economic damages refer to pain and suffering and things like loss of companionship and loss of enjoyment of life. The value of these damages is more difficult to assess because it is subjective. Attorneys often rely on victims’ accounts of pain and suffering and testimony from doctors and other expert witnesses.
Punitive damages are rarely awarded and are reserved for cases where there was gross or intentional negligence. Courts award these damages to punish negligent parties and help deter them from engaging in similar conduct in the future.

What is the Deadline for an Arizona Product Liability Claim?
Product liability claims are subject to Arizona’s two-year statute of limitations ”“ failure to file your claim within two years of the date of injury means you may lose the right to file a lawsuit.
While this is the standard deadline, there can be exceptions that could either lengthen or shorten the period of time in which you can file a claim. As this is a complex issue, it is important to talk to your Avondale product liability lawyer about how much time you have to file. It takes time to investigate these claims, so it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .
