How to hire the best lawyer for your defective product case: ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS you MUST ASK any prospective attorney.
First, ask the SEVEN CRITICAL QUESTIONS you should ask any lawyer before hiring them for any type of personal injury case.
Some cases involve a situation in which a danger associated with a product causes the accident and injury. This could be literally any type of product: automobile, industrial machinery, household appliances and other items, recreational equipment, etc. The list goes on and on.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission maintains a website that allows you to search for products that have been recalled or have safety issues. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration maintains a website that allows you to search for vehicles that have been recalled or have safety issues.
Examples of safety issues associated with products are contained in the following published articles:
If your case involves a defective, dangerous or faulty product, you MUST ASK the attorney the following additional questions:
1. Can I see a list of the defective product cases you have handled? You want an attorney who has handled many dangerous product cases. These cases are difficult, and you want a lawyer with experience handling them. If you do not get a hefty list from an attorney, you should consider talking to other attorneys.
2. What is your experience in working with product experts? If an attorney truly has experience handling defective product cases, they will have worked with many different types of product experts. These days, a product liability case cannot be won without the support of one, and usually more, product experts. If you are talking to an attorney who has not worked with many product experts, that should be a red flag to you.
3. Have you written any published articles related to defective product cases? The area of defective products law is highly specialized, and typically an attorney who is experienced in this area will have written published papers on topics related to this field of law. Ask the lawyer for a list of his or her publications. If no list is forthcoming, you may want to interview some more lawyers.
4. What kind of resources do you have to spend in support of my case? The fact of the matter is that defective product cases are not only difficult to handle, but very EXPENSIVE. The product experts that your attorney needs to support your case do not work for free. These are highly qualified and specialized experts, and their time is typically very valuable. Moreover, there are various other aspects of defective products cases that make them expensive. You need a lawyer who has the resources to spend what it will take to win your case.
5. Have you ever handled a case involving the same type of product that injured me? If you find a lawyer who has handled a case (successfully) involving the same product that injured you, you should strongly consider hiring that attorney. That lawyer will be way ahead of the game even before he or she files your case because the evidence and information that was acquired in the prior case or cases can be used in your case as well.
