Faulty products are a major cause of serious injuries in the United States. When faulty products such as exercise equipment, children’s toys, automobiles, hair dryers and major appliances cause injuries, manufacturers can be held strictly liable for the harm they cause to victims. These cases can be complicated, and the best way to find out if you are entitled to compensation for your injuries from a defective product is to call an experienced Space Coast product liability attorney.

Seek Treatment For Your Injuries from a Defective Product

In order to make a successful claim for the injuries you sustained from a defective product, it’s important to carefully document your claim. That’s why it’s crucial to promptly and thoroughly seek treatment for your injuries. For example, if you have pain in your wrist, it’s prudent to see an orthopedic doctor and to follow up with appropriate testing. If physical therapy is ordered, be sure to attend sessions as directed for the entire recommended course. If your injuries don’t heal well after conservative treatment, your doctor may recommend surgery. This medical treatment will become the evidence of the severity of your injury.

Gather Evidence To Present To Your Product Liability Attorney

The first step is to give your attorney as much information as possible to help identify the parties. For example, if you’re injured by a blow dryer, make sure you document not just the manufacturer, but where you purchased it and how long you’ve had it. It’s helpful if you have any or all of the following documents:

• Receipt for the purchase
• Instruction Manual
• Packaging
• Warranty Information
• Medical Reports
• Photos of Your Injuries
• Photos of the Product
