Product Liability Attorneys in Decatur, Georgia
Product liability is an area of personal injury law that focuses on dangerous and defective products. Our firm represents plaintiffs in Georgia in matters against corporations or manufacturers who have sold or manufactured defective or unsafe products to consumers. "Products" in this instance cover a wide range of categories:
Machinery and tools
Medicine and drugs, both prescription and non-prescription drugs
Household products and appliances
Toys and recreational equipment
Clothing and apparel
Propane tanks and gas grills
If you've had an incident with a product that caused an injury, or are the survivor of someone who may have died from the use or exposure to a dangerous or defective product, it's important that you know your rights under the law. Keep in mind that following an injury caused by a defective product, the time period to pursue your rights could be quite short if the product is old. Georgia law limits the right to bring a lawsuit for injuries if the defective product causing an injury was manufactured and sold more than ten years before litigation is commenced.
