Yearly, tens of thousands of Oklahoma consumers are seriously injured by defective or otherwise negligently packaged products.

In the majority of Oklahoma product liability cases many the injuries could be avoided if the manufacturers or distributors of these products took adequate or otherwise reasonable steps to protect its users from the unsafe product.

Calculus of Risk in Product Liability:

As a defective products attorney I believe that products liability lawsuits and the potential for damages and damage awards are huge. This potential damage award against the manufacturer helps motivate them to make safe products. The old case against a car manufacturer whose gas tank blew up comes to mind. In this case the manufacturer actually knew the product was defective but chose to ignore it. Rather, the manufacturer calculated that the money spent to fix the defective product was less then a potential damage award. Needless to say the defective product hurt someone and a lawsuit followed. At the end of the day the company was found negligent of product liability among other things. This damage award was high enough to cause other product manufactures to think twice before putting defective products in to the stream of commerce.

Product Liability Attorneys Working For You:

When a consumer is injured due to the negligent manufacture or a failure to adequately warn of potential injury associated with the use of a product they may be entitled to damages. If injured you’re entitled to what ever medical treatment you need to heal you. The medical treatment must be reasonable and necessary but they have to pay. You may also be entitled to pain and suffering. Pain and suffering awards depend on the injury you’ve suffered. If you need a product liability attorney in Tulsa Oklahoma we can help you.
