How Product Liability Laws Work
Product liability laws protect consumers in three ways. They protect against design, manufacturing, and marketing mistakes in most situations. When negligence impacts you, such as in the following ways, a product liability attorney in Lakewood becomes an asset you need:
- Product design failures: A product causes harm and loss to others because of the ineffective or unsafe design. It was a problem from the start, even when used as intended.
- Product manufacturing defects: The design is effective, but errors in the manufacturing process, such as the use of inferior materials or inadequate quality assurance, pose safety risks.
- Marketing and advertising mistakes: Also called failure to warn, this type of negligent act occurs when the provider fails to list instructions for safe use or warn about known risks.
In each of these cases, victims have the legal right to pursue action against the at-fault party for all of the damages they have caused. The problem with these cases is gathering proof and taking on large companies and marketing giants. Postman Law has the experience you need not just to file a claim but to win maximum compensation.

Types of Product Liability Cases We Handle
Postman Law helps victims of product failures get answers, no matter the type or extent of their evidence. If someone’s product failed you and caused you to suffer injuries, contact us. Some of the types of product liability claims we handle include:
- Medications: Dangerous drugs that lack side effect warnings or carry heightened risks not warned of
- Defective medical devices: Implants and devices you carry with you or receive treatment from that cause harm
- Unsafe consumer products: Cooking appliances, electronics, children’s toys, and other items often used in households
- Defective auto parts: This includes manufacturing design failures of the vehicles themselves as well as individual part failures that result in injuries and failures
- Food–related failures: Large-scale food-related failures such as baby formula with bacteria or food products with contaminants
- Chemicals and toxic substances: This includes any type of chemical used without proper instruction or warning information, such as herbicides or cleaning agents
Over the years, we have taken on cases and claims for thousands of people. Failed seatbelts, airbags, and brakes; hernia mesh and hip implant failures; pressure cookers; and children’s toys are just some examples of cases we have handled. Speak to a lawyer who can investigate your injuries and losses and build a claim that insurance companies cannot ignore.
Class Action Lawsuits May Be a Possibility
In some situations, you are far from the only person to suffer the losses from a product failure. When multiple parties are involved, a class action lawsuit or multidistrict litigation could be formed to handle the investigation and decision-making related to the incident. We will advise you on your eligibility to join these active or soon-to-be-active claims.

How We Determine Liability in a Product Liability Case
One of the challenges of these negligence cases is proving who is at fault and that their actions or inactions were the direct result of your losses. Many cases involve multiple parties being at fault, which we learn after completing a full investigation of your injuries and losses, as well as similar cases from others. We then gather evidence on who caused the failure, such as:
- The manufacturer that designed and produced the product
- Parts manufacturers
- Testing labs that failed to provide clear information
- Distributors or wholesalers
- Marketing companies for misleading messaging
- Pharmaceutical companies
- Retailers
Taking on any of these actions requires a carefully crafted claim that fully documents all losses. Expect our team to be thorough in evaluating all parties that allowed this to happen to you. We bring in experts who investigate and question every aspect of the case to provide clarity.
Avoid Contacting the Manufacturer Before Calling Us
Often, a product fails or causes injury, and consumers call the manufacturer to request a refund. Yet, in serious accidents and injuries, the losses are far greater. If possible, retain the product or any evidence of what happened. Then, call us. Let us handle the insurance company and the claim so you don’t put yourself in a difficult situation.
