Who can be held liable for defective products?

Home » FAQs » Who can be held liable for defective products?

A number of parties can be held liable in a defective product claim, including its manufacturer and retailer, as well as any distributors or wholesalers involved in its supply chain. Basically, any party involved in the chain of distribution can be held liable in a defective product, or product liability, case.

If you were injured by a component of a larger product, you should sue both that part’s manufacturer as well as the manufacturer of the entire product. You might also be able to hold the retailer of the product liable, even if you didn’t buy the product yourself or even use the product. Product liability claims are extremely complex, which is why you need only the best personal injury or mass tort lawyer in your corner when you bring your claim.

I had an outstanding experience throughout my injury case, from the initial investigation to the final resolution. The services I received were exceptionally great. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism, compassion, and dedication. My Attorney Bret Robinson was very caring and informative. I was able to receive all the medical attention I needed and was fairly compensated for my injuries. I always felt supported, valued, and informed throughout the entire process. As an added special touch, I was presented with thoughtful gifts during my final visit, which made my experience even more memorable. It was truly a reflection of the outstanding customer care and appreciation shown to me. I highly recommend Gordons to anyone in need of legal representation. You will be treated with professionalism, respect, and genuine care. Lois Golden
