Defective and unsafe products hurt millions of consumers every year, often causing severe injuries or even death. Every year, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalls approximately 400 products. When a dangerous or defective product is released to the public and causes serious injury, the innocent victim is entitled to compensation for their economic and non-economic damages. If you are a victim of a defective product, contact our attorneys at the Bendinelli Law Firm. Our product liability attorneys help people who have been injured by dangerous or defective products get the compensation they need and deserve.
If the consumer uses a product in the way it was intended by the manufacturer and according to the instructions, the consumer has the right to assume that the product is safe. There are regulations and laws that govern manufacturers for the following products:
Consumers who have been injured by the reckless or negligent actions of these manufacturers have little recourse to recover damages unless they file a product liability claim.
There are several ways in which a product may be considered defective or dangerous.
If the product’s design is faulty, the entire line might be considered dangerous, and the manufacturer may issue a recall of these products.
There may be a flaw in the manufacturing process resulting in a limited number of defective and dangerous products in an otherwise safe product line.
A manufacturer may be held accountable if they fail to warn a consumer of likely hazards and improper use that leads to injury or death.
Manufacturers relentlessly fight against regulations that protect consumers’ rights, and it takes an experienced and knowledgeable defective product lawyer to protect your rights.
A product liability claim can not only get you the compensation you deserve for your injury, but it also provides an incentive for the manufacturer to either correct the problem with their defective product or discontinue producing the dangerous product.

Unfortunately, a defective product can cause catastrophic and life-threatening injuries, even if you used the product according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Examples of injuries caused by defective products include:
Some injuries can cause permanent impairments and disabilities. The negligence and wrongdoing of a large corporation or manufacturer can change your life forever. Our Denver product liability lawyers fight to get you the money you need to continue to recover after a defective product injures you.
The value of your product liability claim depends on many factors, including the severity of your injury and your financial damages. We work to maximize the amount of money you can receive for your claim.
Most victims are entitled to compensation for their economic losses and non-economic damages. Damages in a defective product injury claim include:
Our legal team at the Bendinelli Law Firm works with you and your doctors to document your damages. You can help us by keeping copies of all receipts and bills you receive.
Creating a journal with notes about your pain, suffering, and struggle to recover from your injuries can also be helpful. You can include notes about how your injuries impact your relationship with others, your daily pain level, and tasks and activities you cannot perform because of the injuries.
Seek immediate medical attention. Call 911 if your injuries are severe or go directly to the emergency room. Make sure to tell the physician that a product caused the injury. Include the exact name of the product when you describe what happened to the doctor.
Preserve the defective product, if it is safe to do so. Put all of the pieces in a safe container. Make sure to keep the box, packaging, and instructions. If you are not sure if it is safe to store the item, check with the fire department or other experts.
Do not discuss the accident or your injuries with the company, its insurance company, or their attorneys before talking to a lawyer. Something you say could hurt your claim. Insurance claims adjusters and defense lawyers are incredibly well-trained and skilled in getting people to say things that may not mean.
