Portland Product Liability Lawyers

Experienced Portland Product Liability Attorneys Ready To Serve You

An airbag on a vehicle.

Defective products are to blame for countless accidents every year. From defective vehicle components such as brakes and airbags to dangerous medical devices, all types of products have the potential to be defective, and all types of defective products have the potential to cause serious and fatal injuries.

A product is considered defective if it is unsafe to be used as it is intended. This can result from a design defect, a defect caused by a manufacturing flaw, or a failure to provide adequate warnings to unsuspecting consumers on the product’s packaging. Under the product liability laws of Oregon and Washington, product designers, manufacturers, and sellers are “strictly liable” for product defects. This means that victims and their families do not need to prove negligence in order to file a successful claim for compensation.

We Handle Cases Involving Dangerous and Defective Products

Our Portland product liability attorneys handle cases involving many dangerous and defective products. We also handle negligence-based claims in cases when there is not sufficient evidence to support an argument for strict liability. As a result, regardless of the specific circumstances involved, if you or your child has been seriously injured in an accident involving product failure, if you or a loved one has experienced a severe complication involving a medical device, or if you have lost a loved one in an accident that you believe could have been avoided, we encourage you to contact us so that we can investigate and provide a thorough assessment of your legal rights.

We represent clients in cases involving dangerous and defective products including:

  • Automotive defects and defective vehicle components
  • Medical devices and surgical implants
  • E-cigarettes and vaping products
  • Bicycles, climbing, and trekking gear, and other outdoor recreational equipment
  • Playground equipment and children’s toys
  • Home and personal electronics, including appliances, smart devices, “hoverboards,” and wearable electronics
  • Household cleaners and chemicals
  • Industrial chemicals and products
  • Power tools, hand tools, and heavy machinery
  • Construction materials, including electrical wiring and materials that produce noxious fumes and particulates

Product Liability Practice Spotlight: Automotive Defects

Automotive defects present extreme risks for drivers and passengers. We expect our vehicles to get us where we need to go safely, and we rarely think about the risk that a defect could cause a serious or fatal collision. Yet, automotive defects are alarmingly common, and in recent years major auto manufacturers have issued several substantial safety recalls covering millions upon millions of vehicles.

While some automotive defects cause crashes, others (such as airbag defects) increase occupants’ risk of injury in collisions caused by other factors. In either scenario, injured drivers, passengers, and their families deserve to be fully compensated by the companies that are responsible for their losses. This includes losses resulting from dangerous and defective:

  • Accelerators (gas pedals)
  • Airbags
  • Brakes
  • Cargo straps, ties, and other commercial truck components
  • Electrical systems and components
  • Engines and transmissions
  • Safety belts and child seats
  • Self-driving and autonomous vehicle technology
  • Wheels, tires, and drivetrains

Due to the number of potential factors involved in vehicle collisions, it is imperative to identify the specific factor (or factors) involved. If an insurance company or vehicle manufacturer is not clearly convinced that it is liable, it isn’t going to pay. With our attorneys’ experience in product liability cases and vehicle collision cases involving negligent drivers’ auto insurance, we can make sure that all of the liable parties are held accountable for your accident-related losses.

Product Liability Practice Spotlight: Defective Medical Devices

Despite the FDA approval process, dangerous and defective medical devices still can – and do – end up in hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s offices throughout Oregon and Washington. This includes both external and surgically implanted devices. If you or a loved one has experienced complications following the use or implantation of a medical device of any kind, we encourage you to seek medical and legal help right away.

Similar to other types of products, all types of medical devices have the potential to be defective. Our Portland defective medical devices attorneys handle defective medical device cases involving defective medical devices including:

  • Birth control devices
  • Defibrillators
  • Dialysis machines
  • Heart valves and pacemakers
  • Hernia patches
  • Hip and knee replacements and implants
  • Inferior vena cava (IVC) blood clot filters
  • Insulin pumps
  • Shoulder pain pumps
  • Surgical implants (including transvaginal mesh)
  • Surgical tools and robots

This list is certainly not exhaustive, and if you believe that you or a loved one may have been harmed by any kind of medical device, we encourage you to get in touch. We can determine whether a defective medical device is to blame or whether you may have a different cause of action (i.e. a claim for medical negligence) to secure a financial recovery.

Keep the Product and Its Packaging (If You Have It) and Contact Us So That We Can Investigate as Soon as Possible

Dental equipments in a dental clinic.In product liability cases, it is important to try to preserve as much evidence as possible. This means that you should keep the product packaging (if you still have it), and you should keep the damaged product if it was yours. If you or a family member has been harmed by a defective medical device, you should also keep any related medical records you may have.

However, many product liability cases involve defective products that are owned by someone else. If you were injured in an auto accident, if your child was injured on a playground, or if your case involves any other product that belongs to a third party, then it is particularly important that we are able to conduct an investigation as soon as possible so that we can preserve key evidence in support of your claim. You can reach us by phone, text, or email 24/7, and our lawyers can initiate an investigation immediately, if necessary, to protect your claim.
