A number of accidents that occur can actually be tied to unsafe products. These seemingly defective products can be found just about anywhere, including at home, on the road and at work. Residents of Hawaii who have been injured or lost a loved one in an accident may have multiple claims that they can apply toward their case, including a products liability claim.

There is a pretty broad list of items that may qualify for a products liability claim. Some of these include basic household appliances, unsafe chemicals, dangerous or improperly designed medications and industrial equipment. A more extensive list can be viewed on our Product Liability webpage.

Some accidents that seem to be just that, accidents, may actually be tied to unsafe equipment or product design. For instance, car accidents could be linked to an auto defect, and some workplace accidents can be tied to faulty equipment. Some injuries or deaths related to medications could be linked to faulty manufacturing practices. The list of possibilities for product liability claims is immense.

Residents in Hawaii who have been injured or lost a loved one in an accident certainly have the right to question the circumstances surrounding incident. This includes questioning the safety of the products being used at the time of the accident. The use of defective products can have life-altering consequences. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers can be held accountable if a problem with a product is found. An attorney who focuses on products liability cases can help you determine if this type of claim is appropriate for your specific situation and seek fair compensation for any losses suffered.
