If you or a loved one was injured by a product that didn’t seem to work right, you may have a viable legal claim under Colorado’s product liability laws. Product manufacturers, designers, and retailers have a responsibility to ensure that the products sold in the marketplace are safe to use as intended. When they are not, they can be held responsible for consumers’ injuries. Call Dulin McQuinn Young today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your legal rights and options with an Arvada personal injury lawyer.
Colorado’s Product Liability Laws Protect Consumers
Under Colorado Revised Statutes § 13-21-401, a consumer has a right to file a legal claim against a manufacturer or seller of a product due to property damage, personal injury, or wrongful death caused by the product’s:
- Manufacturer
- Construction
- Design
- Formula
- Installation
- Preparation
- Assembly
- Testing
- Packaging
- Labeling
- Sale
- Failure to warn or protect against a danger or hazard in the product’s use, misuse, or intended use
- Failure to provide proper instructions for the product’s use
An experienced Arvada product liability attorney from our law firm can investigate your case to determine why the product failed and who is responsible for the harm its failure caused.
You Could Be Owed Considerable Compensation
Defective products can cause fires, car wrecks, slips and falls, and other serious accidents. These incidents can lead to permanent disabilities and other severe injuries and consequences. As such, personal injury claims based on defective products can result in significant compensation awarded to the victim to compensate for losses, such as:
- Medical bills for emergency treatment
- Ongoing medical care payments, including for physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Future medical expenses
- Lost wages for time off work, along with employment benefits used to heal and seek medical treatment
- Reduced earning capacity, if you suffered an injury that impairs your ability to earn a living
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Physical disability and incapacitation
Our legal team can work closely with you to determine how the accident has impacted your life and fight to recover compensation that accurately reflects the harm you have suffered. In accidents involving fatalities, our Arvada wrongful death attorneys know which strategies help surviving family members navigate their loss, hold liable parties accountable, and secure maximum financial compensation.
You Need to Act Fast to Preserve Evidence
Under Colorado’s statute of limitations, you only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you don’t file your case within this short timeframe, you can lose your chance to recover any compensation from the courts, no matter how egregious the manufacturer’s actions were.
Additionally, you will want to act promptly so that your legal team can begin a thorough investigation into the incident to determine how your injuries occurred and to preserve valuable evidence before it is lost or destroyed. Take the first step toward protecting your legal rights by contacting an experienced product liability lawyer today.
