What should I do if I’ve been injured by a defective product?
The state of South Carolina follows a legal doctrine called strict liability. This means that companies are responsible for the safety of the products they sell with no excuses. Any person who has been injured by a defective product may be able to win compensation.
If you have been injured by a faulty product, such as a dangerous drug or tool, you need to contact a good attorney right away to learn about your options. You may have grounds to file a product liability suit. This may allow you to win compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
To schedule a consultation with an experienced Charleston product liability lawyer, contact the Steinberg Law Firm by calling 843-720-2800.
