If they don’t, and someone gets hurt, they need to be held accountable. Matt and Ray have seen firsthand how defective products can cause serious injuries—and how hard manufacturers and insurance companies fight to avoid responsibility. That’s where we come in.

What Is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to ensure that the products they sell are safe for use. If a product has a design flaw, a manufacturing defect, or fails to carry adequate warnings or instructions, and someone is injured as a result, that person has the right to pursue compensation.

There are generally three types of product liability claims:

  • Design defects – The product is inherently dangerous due to a flawed design.
  • Manufacturing defects – Something went wrong during production, making the product unsafe.
  • Failure to warn – The product lacked proper instructions or warnings about potential risks.

When products cause serious harm, manufacturers need to be held accountable—and that’s where Matt and Ray come in.

Defective or dangerous products can cause a wide range of injuries, including:

  • Burns, lacerations, and electrical shocks
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Blindness or hearing loss
  • Amputations or crushing injuries
  • Wrongful death

Have you suffered a product-related injury?
Follow our step-by-step guide:

1. Seek medical attention immediately

Your health is the top priority. Whether your injury seems minor or severe, it’s important to be evaluated by a medical professional right away. Not only does this ensure your safety, but it also creates a medical record that links your injury to the product—an essential part of any product liability claim.

2. Preserve the product and all packaging

Do not throw the product away, even if it’s broken. Keep it exactly as it was at the time of the injury, along with any packaging, manuals, receipts, or safety warnings. These items may serve as critical evidence in proving the defect and establishing liability.

3. Document the scene and your injuries

Take clear, detailed photos of the product, any injuries sustained, the surrounding area, and anything else relevant. If others witnessed the incident, get their contact information. Documenting the timeline and circumstances will help build a strong case.

4. Avoid speaking to manufacturers or insurance companies alone

You may be contacted by the manufacturer or their insurance provider shortly after the incident. Do not provide a statement or accept any offers before consulting with an attorney. These companies are often focused on minimizing their liability—and any early statements you make can be used against you.

5. Contact Matt & Ray—let us handle the rest

Once you call us, we’ll take it from there. We’ll investigate the product’s history, gather expert testimony, negotiate with the responsible parties, and fight to secure full compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and more.
