If You Have a Liability Suit, You May Want to Seek a Liability Attorney

When you buy your favorite products, you do so in good faith. You feel confident that the company who made the product has your best interests at heart. Never would you dream that you could be injured by poorly made or improperly labeled merchandise. If you are living in the greater DFW metroplex and you’ve been hurt by unsafe product manufacturing, you need to consult a Dallas liability attorney.

There are laws known as “product liability laws” that state when a person has sustained injuries due to the negligence of a person or company’s behavior, the injured party has the right to seek compensation from the guilty party. Compensation can be for anything from hospital bills to “pain and suffering.” It is illegal for a company to produce a harmful or deadly product unless the product contains warning labels stating that injury or death could occur. Therefore, if a company isn’t mindful in the production of not only the product itself, but the container, the law can require the company to not only compensate those who suffered from the product, but also cease production until the product is safe or the proper warnings are included on the product and container.

In addition to product liability, there is also premise liability. For instance, say there has been a spill in your local grocery store and you slip and fall because there were no “wet floor” signs around. This would be a circumstance in which you could file a suit against the grocery store because they have neglected to post the proper caution signs and clean a spill which was hazardous. You may be compensated for hospital fees as well as wages lost because you had to take a few weeks off of work to heal your injury.

If you have been injured because of a defective product or injured due to negligent property owners, seek legal aid immediately. When seeking a Dallas liability attorney, hire someone experienced in cases of the same magnitude and specificity as yours. Check credentials and references before signing a contract with a liability attorney. Always remember that your liability attorney is there to protect you from further harm. Find someone you are comfortable with and you’re sure to win.
