A:While the definition may vary by state, a product defect is generally a condition that prevents a product from operating or being used by a consumer for its originally intended purpose. A product defect claim may exist when flaws present dangerous or unsafe conditions that cause injury or death to a consumer if those who designed, made, maintained, or sold the product knew or should have known about the defect. A plaintiff may be eligible to bring a claim if a product was: 

A:Product liability litigation is the area of law focused on identifying and holding responsible negligent manufacturers, designers, retailers, maintenance companies, or others who knew or should have known that their products presented a dangerous condition that could injure or kill a person. There are typically five steps in the litigation process, including: 

A:From the day we begin investigating your case, we prepare the case as if it is going to trial. Our experienced trial attorneys are some of the best in the business at trial strategy and building evidence to strengthen your claims. We partner with top product defect experts who can testify to the nature and severity of the defect. Finally, we test our presentation by sharing our case with mock jury panels that critique and evaluate our arguments. This process allows us to fully assess the strengths and weaknesses of the case to ensure we are prepared for every potential opportunity and pitfall at trial.

A:For each serious product defect case we receive, we spend many hours evaluating a case prior to agreeing to represent a client. First, we will meet with you to learn about the incident and the nature of your injuries or other losses and ask you to complete a comprehensive client questionnaire. Then, an attorney closely examines the facts of the case, and our engineering department and legal teams meet to discuss the nature of the claim.
Following these initial meetings, our team requests and later reviews important investigative materials, such as accident reports, medical records, scene photographs. We will research other similar incidents and we meet again to reach a final determination on the merits of the product defect case.

A:Yes. Each attorney at The Gilbert Law Group® takes pride in ensuring we respond to client inquiries with timely and helpful answers. Our team of litigation paralegals assists us in helping to make sure each and every client question is satisfactorily answered.

A:Oftentimes, yes. While most cases do not proceed to trial, many victims and their family members are required to tell their story through sworn testimony at a deposition. A deposition enables the parties to the lawsuit to ask questions of witnesses regarding the incident, the type and severity of injuries, economic losses, etc. Many witnesses find the process of giving testimony to be therapeutic and a way to reach closure with the tragedy in their lives. Our attorneys devote significant time to ensure you are comfortable with the experience of testifying.

A:There are no guarantees in litigation. There is always a possibility that your case will not be successful. The Gilbert Law Group® has decades of experience working on some of the most challenging and complex product defect cases in the country. That qualifies us to investigate, prepare, and litigate your case to a just resolution for you and your family. In the event that we do not win your case, only in very rare situations are you or your family exposed to any financial responsibility. We are happy to explain these circumstances to you.
