Charleston Manufacturing Defect Lawyer

Early in our country’s history, companies were only held responsible for customers’ injuries if they had some contract guaranteeing consumer safety. Over time, juries began to realize that this was not a reasonable standard. Today, companies have a legal duty to provide safe products to their customers, regardless of whether they have contracts.

“Manufacturing defect” is a legal term used to clarify what is wrong with a product. It means that something went wrong when the product was being built. In other words, if the people constructing it had followed the design correctly, the product would not be dangerous. At the Steinberg Law Firm, our Charleston defective product lawyers work hard to help victims of manufacturing defects.

Injuries Caused by Manufacturing Defects

A product that seems perfectly harmless can be very dangerous if it is poorly built. Even children’s toys have caused serious injuries due to loose parts, poor wiring, and other flaws. Some of the most dangerous manufacturing flaws include:

• Faulty vehicle safety equipment (airbags, seatbelts, etc)
• Flawed heating systems or electrical wiring
• Unsafe playground equipment
• Poorly made appliances
• Structurally unsound buildings

People have lost their homes and other property, suffered painful and debilitating injuries, and even died due to the sorts of defects listed above. That is why our Charleston manufacturing defect lawyers are so committed to helping people cope with the financial, medical, and emotional devastation of a serious accident.
