There are two types of warranties: express and implied. An express warranty is a specific guarantee that the manufacturer or seller of a product makes about the safety of a product. An implied warranty applies to consumer products over a certain value that essentially guarantees that a product is not defective. However, it only provides a basic level of protection for consumers.
If a product does not work as it is supposed to, the manufacturer or seller could be held liable for breach of warranty.
Our licensed Tucson product liability attorneys are well-versed in Arizona product liability laws and are prepared to determine if one of these legal theories may apply to your situation.

For most personal injury cases, including product liability cases, the statute of limitations in Arizona is generally within two years from the date of the injury. This means that in most instances, you have only two years to take legal action or you may lose the right to file a claim and the ability to recover compensation.
Although, there could be certain exceptions to this deadline. For instance, if you did not reasonably discover your injury until a later date, you may have more time to file a claim. Victims who are minors will also have a different deadline to abide by.
This is why it is important that you reach out to a lawyer for legal advice as soon as possible if you are unsure your time to file has passed.

Product liability cases can be challenging and time-consuming. If you hire a lawyer, he or she can handle the legal process for you while you focus on what matters ”“ your health.
Hiring a lawyer can be beneficial to your potential case in a number of ways. A lawyer can thoroughly investigate your situation to find all possible liable parties and collect the evidence needed to build a strong case on your behalf.

Insurance companies are often involved quickly after a defective product injury has occurred. The insurance agent will typically ask you to provide a recorded statement or ask for certain documentation to be signed. However, most victims do not realize that this information could be used against them to deny or devalue their claim.
