Understanding Product Liability
Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers responsible for ensuring that their products are safe for consumer use. When a product defect leads to injury or death, those harmed have the right to seek compensation. Common types of product liability cases include:
- Design Defects: Flaws in a product’s design that make it inherently unsafe.
- Manufacturing Defects: Errors occurring during the production process that result in unsafe products.
- Failure to Warn: Lack of adequate instructions or warnings about potential risks associated with a product’s use.
The Ortega Firm’s team of experts thoroughly investigates these cases, identifying how and why a product failed and determining liability.

- Toxic Substances: Exposure to harmful chemicals or materials, such as asbestos or lead-based products.

Defective products can have devastating consequences for victims and their families, including:
- Physical Injuries: From minor injuries to catastrophic harm such as burns, amputations, or paralysis.
