Product liability cases arise when a defective product causes harm to a consumer. This can include anything from faulty medical devices to dangerous household products. When manufacturers, distributors, or retailers fail to ensure the safety of their products, they can be held liable for the injuries caused. The Ortega Firm, led by Tanya Ortega, is dedicated to representing victims of defective products, ensuring that they receive the compensation they deserve.

• Understanding Product Liability Claims
  Product liability cases fall into three main categories:
  • Manufacturing Defects: When a product is incorrectly made, resulting in a dangerous flaw. For example, a car with a defective braking system.
  • Design Defects: When the design of a product is inherently dangerous, even if it is manufactured correctly. For example, a children’s toy with small parts that pose a choking hazard.
  • Failure to Warn: When a product lacks proper instructions or warnings about potential dangers. For example, a medication without adequate warnings about side effects.
• How The Ortega Firm Can Help
  Product liability cases can be complex, often involving multiple parties, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. The Ortega Firm provides comprehensive legal representation to navigate these complexities:
  • Initial Consultation: A detailed evaluation of the circumstances surrounding the defective product and the injuries caused.
  • Evidence Collection: Gathering necessary evidence, including expert testimony, to establish that the product was defective and caused harm.
  • Identifying Responsible Parties: Determining which party is liable for the defect—whether it’s the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer.
  • Negotiation and Litigation: The firm negotiates with the responsible parties or their insurers to secure a fair settlement. If necessary, The Ortega Firm will pursue the case in court to obtain compensation.
• Compensation in Product Liability Cases
  Victims of defective products may be entitled to compensation for:
  • Medical Bills: Including immediate medical treatment and future healthcare needs.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to the injury.
  • Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical and emotional impact of the injury.
  • Permanent Disability: Compensation for long-term or permanent disabilities resulting from the defective product.
