Product Liability in Hartford, CT

Team Up With a Hartford Personal Injury Lawyer

Manufacturers have a duty to consumers to make safe products. A product liability claim can arise if a manufacturer, assembler or wholesaler acts in a negligent manner. In order to pursue a product liability claim you must have proof that the product is indeed defective.

If you have suffered from any type of product defect, obtain legal representation from a skilled Hartford personal injury lawyer from Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLP. All types of products can be harmful if the design or manufacturing is flawed. When this is the case, the product can be recalled to prevent further injuries. It is not uncommon for faulty products to be recalled; in fact, we have seen the recall of many children's toys, car parts, safety equipment and even medical devices. Unfortunately for injured victims, the lawsuit they enter would be against a large business or corporation. This is one reason why you need a skilled product liability attorney by your side.

Protection Against Defective Products in Connecticut

There is a Connecticut Product Liability Act in place to protect consumers from defective products. This Act came about in 1979 and it includes protection against negligence, breach of warranty and strict liability from manufacturers and other product designers or retailers. It is important to be aware of the definition of product seller.

You do not have to purchase the product directly from the seller in order to file a claim. You could even be borrowing a product from a friend and file a product liability claim if you are injured due to the product.
