Injured by a Defective Product and Need a Lawyer?

Experiencing an injury from a defective product can lead to mounting medical expenses, loss of income, and significant stress.

Steps to Take After a Defective Product Injury

If you've been injured by a defective product, taking the right steps can protect your health, legal rights, and ability to seek compensation. Contact Ali Law Group for a free consultation and legal guidance. Here's what to do:​

• Seek Medical Attention – Some injuries may not show immediate symptoms. A medical evaluation creates a record linking your injuries to the defective product.​
• Preserve the Product – Keep the product in its current state without attempting to repair it. This serves as crucial evidence in your case.​
• Document the Incident – Take photos of the product, your injuries, and the scene where the injury occurred. Collect any packaging, manuals, or receipts related to the product.​
• Report the Injury – Notify the manufacturer or retailer about the incident. Ensure that an official report is filed.​
• Avoid Speaking with Insurance Companies – Insurers may attempt to minimize your claim or shift blame. Let your attorney handle all communications.​
• Contact a Product Liability Lawyer – Our skilled personal injury attorneys will fight for the justice you deserve.​

Common Mistakes to Avoid After Being Injured by a Defective Product

Protecting your legal rights starts with avoiding common mistakes that could harm your claim. Here are some key missteps to avoid:​

• Talking to Insurance Companies Without Legal Advice – Insurers may try to minimize your claim or shift blame. Let your product liability lawyer handle all communication.​
• Delaying Medical Treatment – Some injuries, like internal damage, may not show immediate symptoms. A medical record also strengthens your case.​
• Not Preserving the Product – Altering or disposing of the defective product can destroy critical evidence needed to prove your claim.
• Accepting a Quick Settlement – Insurance companies may offer a low settlement before the full extent of your injuries is clear. Once you accept, you can't seek additional compensation.​
• Not Hiring an Experienced Lawyer – A skilled product liability attorney can gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and fight for the compensation you deserve. Call Ali Law Group for help.​
