Protection From Manufacturing, Design and Warning Defects
When you buy a new product, you expect it to work the way it is designed to function. Unfortunately, that does not always happen. Sometimes, products break for no reason. Sometimes they are poorly designed or cheaply made and could easily injure someone as a result. If you were injured because of a manufacturing or design defect, or because the product did not have proper warnings, an experienced lawyer can help protect your rights.
I am attorney Robert E. Tucker, Ph.D., J.D., and I have nearly 20 years of experience representing clients throughout Des Moines and the surrounding Iowa communities in product liability cases. Schedule your initial consultation by contacting me online or by calling 888-514-0254.
Building a Strong Product Liability Case
Often, a products liability case is closely tied to a workers' compensation matter or premises liability. Because I have experience handling a wide range of personal injury matters, I can help you receive the representation you need at every step of the process.
I thoroughly investigate every case, preparing it for trial. I build the strongest case possible when handling product liability claims, taking photographs of the product, documenting injuries and calculating costs resulting from the injury. I primarily handle three categories of defective product cases, including:
- Manufacturing defects: If a product is not properly assembled, it fails during normal usage and injuries result, there may be grounds for a claim against the manufacturer. I represent clients injured by everything from defective ladders to defective medical devices.
- Design defects: If a product is designed without adequate safety measures in place, it could be unsafe, even for normal use. I have successfully helped clients injured by design flaws affecting a variety of products, including heavy equipment and power tools.
- Inadequate warnings: If an inherently dangerous product, for example, a snowblower, does not have sufficient warning to alert a consumer to possible injuries that could result from its use, the manufacturer could be liable. I am here to represent clients who were injured because a dangerous product did not come equipped with appropriate warnings.
