Products Liability? Save The Product!

 If you are injured by a defective product, please be sure to save the product and not throw it away or otherwise get rid of it. This may sound like common sense, but after a person sustains a serious injury from a defective product, the last thing on their mind is essentially preserving evidence. But without the defective product, it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible to proceed with a products liability claim.

In a recent unfortunate case, a young man was severely and permanently injured by an airbag. He was a passenger in the car of a friend. Because of the severity of his injury, he and his family were focused on his car and multiple surgeries. https://askcompetentlawyer.com/ However in the meantime and before I was contacted, his friend's car was totaled and sent off to the salvage yard. And unfortunately for his products liability claim for the defective airbag, without the car and without the airbag, there was simply no viable claim to pursue.

So with any products liability claim, please ensure that the product is saved and contact an experience products liability attorney immediately to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to preserve the claim.
