Baltimore Product Liability Attorney

Product Liability

There’s an old Latin phrase you’ll probably hear a lot – “caveat emptor,” which means, “Let the buyer beware.” Or, to use a slightly more modern phrase, “You pay your money, you take your chances.” Many unethical manufacturers or marketers use these phrases to justify their products and their claims that they owe nothing in compensation.

Rest assured, the legal system does not work like that. If you bought a product, used it properly, and suffered an injury as a result, you have options. And our experienced Baltimore product liability attorneys can help you pursue justice and compensation for your personal injuries.

We take these cases seriously because we know they’re serious. And we strongly believe in holding companies accountable when they design, manufacture, and market a dangerous product that hurts innocent people.

If you’ve suffered an injury in the Baltimore area as the result of a shoddy consumer product, our product liability attorneys can help. Please call Cohen & Dwin, P.A. today at 410-653-6000 for a free consultation.

Product Cases We Can Handle in Baltimore

Tens of thousands of people are hurt every year as a result of defective products. In many of these cases, the companies that created the product knew there were serious issues and did not invest the time or the money necessary to make the product safe. This is unacceptable.

Defective product cases tend to fall into three broad categories:

  • Design: There was a flaw in the initial design of the product that rendered it unsafe, meaning the entire enterprise was troubled from the beginning
  • Production: In these cases, the design was perfectly adequate, but a systematic flaw in the company’s production network (the use of shoddy materials, improper oversight, or similar issues) made the product dangerous
  • Marketing: Finally, there are cases where the product was designed and produced properly but was marketed in a way that made it dangerous to use – for example, pharmaceutical companies will occasionally market a drug that’s approved for the treatment of condition A as a potential solution for condition B.

Any one of these flaws puts innocent people in danger, and our product liability attorneys have the know-how to vigorously and successfully pursue and investigate these cases.

We have handled a significant range of product liability claims, including those involving:

Don’t be discouraged if your product doesn’t fall into one of those categories. We can still help.

What to Do After a Defective Product Injury in Baltimore
