PORTLAND PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWYER

Portland has seen its fair share of product liability cases, where defective or dangerous products have caused harm to consumers and workers alike. When a product fails to perform safely as intended, the consequences can be severe, often leading to catastrophic injuries. Whether it’s a faulty vehicle part, a defective household appliance, or an industrial tool, those who are injured due to a product’s malfunction have the right to pursue legal action against the manufacturer or distributor. In these cases, product liability laws provide protection for consumers, ensuring that those responsible for the defective product are held accountable for the harm caused.

Catastrophic injuries resulting from defective products can be life-altering. These injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or limb amputations, can leave victims facing long-term medical treatment, rehabilitation, and, in some cases, permanent disability. Personal injury claims related to product liability help victims recover compensation for their medical expenses, lost income, and emotional distress. Whether the injury occurs in the home or in the workplace, Portland residents deserve to feel safe when using products, and when that trust is broken, the legal system provides a path to justice.

Some of the most serious product liability cases involve burns and explosions, particularly in situations where faulty machinery, electrical devices, or flammable materials are involved. Victims of burns and explosions often require extensive medical treatment, including surgeries, skin grafts, and long-term rehabilitation. These injuries can also result in disfigurement and emotional trauma. Pursuing a product liability claim in Portland can help victims and their families receive the compensation they need to cover these medical expenses and rebuild their lives. Holding manufacturers accountable not only provides justice for victims but also helps prevent future tragedies by encouraging safer product design and better quality control.

• Product liability refers to products that are unsafe due to defective design, defective manufacture, or inadequate / misleading instructions or warnings.
• All serious injuries and all deaths from products are always unreasonable and always unnecessary if they can be minimized or avoided through reasonable means.
• Cases involving product liability include: construction accidents, sports and recreation equipment, medical equipment, highway design, and household and consumer products.

To successfully settle a product liability claim for money damages, it is necessary to understand the product and what could have been done to avoid the injury — either by you or by the business responsible for designing or manufacturing the product. In cases involving consumer products, or industrial or farming equipment, some things are simply dangerous by their very nature.

Portland Defective Product Attorney

“Insurance companies often argue that the victim of a dangerous product can’t claim damages because he wasn’t using the product in a reasonable manner. The truth is, every serious injury or death is always unreasonable and always avoidable, if it could be minimized or avoided through reasonable means.” — Attorney Bill Savage

We know the issues to investigate and clarify in order to negotiate a full and fair settlement or win in court.
