Product Liability Lawyer Milwaukee

If you or a loved one is seriously injured and you suspect that a defective product caused the accident or injuries, you should immediately consult an attorney concerning your rights, even if you don’t intend to sue. Many people who don’t initially intend to sue often change their mind months or sometimes years later, when the long-term consequences of the injury become apparent or they learn that the manufacturer of the product knew the product was defective and placed profit before safety.

In Wisconsin, product liability claims must be brought within three years of the date of injury.  In Arizona it must be brought within two years. A lawsuit for a defective product cannot usually be brought if the product has been thrown away or lost. Thus, if you believe a defective product caused an accident or injuries, you should immediately consult with an attorney and have the product stored under lock and key. It’s also vital to obtain statements from witnesses, victims and family while the incident is still fresh in their minds. Insurance companies will seek recorded statements, but such statements should not be given without the advice of an attorney.
