Defective Product Lawyers Representing Charleston, Summerville & Goose Creek, South Carolina
We will protect your rights and prevent others from also being harmed by the same product.
Product manufacturers have a crucial responsibility toward their consumers. They must ensure the goods they produce and sell are safe for consumer use, and that they contain adequate warnings of any inherent dangers. Unfortunately, manufacturers and other parties in the distribution chain sometimes produce a dangerous or defective product that injures consumers. Fortunately, the law provides protection in defective product cases.

What should I do if I've been injured by a defective product?
Life requires that you and your family come into contact with numerous products and devices every day. You should be able to trust those products, but unfortunately, dangerous goods can make it into the hands and homes of consumers. In certain cases, you may be able to pursue compensation and accountability. To find out whether you have a defective product claim, please call our experienced South Carolina attorneys – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – at 843-720-2800.
What is a Defective Product?
Virtually any type of product can be defective or faulty. During your free consultation, our attorneys can determine whether your injury and the type of product qualify. In the past, some of the products that have been the subject of these claims are:
- Propane Tank
- Tires
- Travel Mug
- Brakes
- Appliances
- Medical devices
- Medications
- Children’s toys
- Food products
- Grill brushes
- Battery-powered devices
Determining Who is at Fault
There are multiple parties along the chain of production that may ultimately be responsible for defective product injuries. Some of the potentially responsible parties include:
- Designers
- Manufacturers
- Retailers
- Wholesalers
As a team of experienced lawyers, we have the skills and resources to investigate your case and determine fault. Often the key to these cases is showing that you were injured as a direct result of the defect. Of course, anyone can be harmed by a product, simply by using it improperly or in a dangerous manner. A chainsaw is a very dangerous piece of equipment; simply being injured while using the saw isn’t enough to pursue a product liability claim. Instead, the injury must have arisen because of a defect and while in the regular operation of the device.

Three Categories of Defective Product Cases
There are three types of defects that product liability claims address:
Design Defects
These flaws are present in the very design of the product before it is made. Even when the product is manufactured accurately and precisely, there will still be a dangerous defect in the final merchandise.
Manufacturing Defects
These cases deal with products that are correctly designed but manufactured in a flawed manner. An error or problem arises as the product is being made, causing the defect.
Our attorneys can determine whether the product that injured you was defective in one of these ways.
Marketing Defects
These cases deal with the labeling and marketing of a product, including inadequate instructions, insufficient labels, or inadequate safety warnings.
Our experienced attorneys work efficiently and passionately to pursue every last penny for our clients. Using all of our resources, we will show every way the injury has affected your life and livelihood. We demonstrate the life-altering effect the injury has had upon a client’s life to judges, juries, mediators, and insurance adjusters.
Recovery for Damages
Damages in a Defective Product Case
In addition to holding responsible parties accountable, the purpose of a product liability claim is to pursue compensation for the way the injury has affected your life.
Compensation awarded in a claim is referred to as “compensatory damages.” When a case is successful, damages may be awarded for some or all of the following:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages from being unable to work
- Rehabilitation therapy
- Job re-training
