Injured by a Defective Product? We Help You Hold Manufacturers Accountable.

When you purchase a product, you trust it to be safe, effective, and free from defects. Unfortunately, many manufacturers, designers, and retailers cut corners—leading to dangerous products that cause serious injuries or even fatalities. If you’ve been harmed by a defective or unsafe product, you have the right to seek justice.

At Ratliff Jackson LLP, our experienced product liability lawyers fight to protect consumers and workers injured by hazardous products. We aggressively pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, emotional distress, and more.

What is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, or retailers when a product causes harm due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings. If a product fails to meet safety standards or is marketed irresponsibly, victims have the right to file a claim.

Types of Product Liability Claims We Handle

We represent clients across a wide range of product liability cases, including:

1. Defective Design

Products that are inherently unsafe—even when used correctly—due to poor or negligent design. Examples include:

  • Cars prone to rollovers or unintended acceleration

  • Medical devices that fail or degrade too early

  • Power tools lacking proper safety mechanisms

2. Manufacturing Defects

Mistakes during the production process that turn otherwise safe designs into hazardous products:

  • Exploding batteries or malfunctioning electronics

  • Contaminated drugs or spoiled food items

  • Defective parts in vehicles or safety gear

3. Failure to Warn / Improper Labeling

Products must carry clear instructions and safety warnings. When they don’t, users are at risk:

  • Medications without proper side effect disclosures

  • Toys without warnings for choking hazards

  • Hazardous chemicals without clear usage instructions

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Several parties may be responsible for a defective product, including:

  • Manufacturers – Companies that design, build, or assemble the product

  • Retailers & Distributors – Businesses that sold the product without proper safety checks

  • Third-Party Vendors – Online platforms or suppliers that failed to ensure safety standards

At Ratliff Jackson LLP, we conduct thorough investigations to determine liability and build the strongest possible case.

Compensation for Product Liability Victims

If you’ve suffered injuries due to a faulty product, you may be eligible for compensation, including:

  • Past and future medical expenses

  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

  • Pain, suffering, and mental anguish

  • Permanent disability or scarring

  • Punitive damages against negligent manufacturers

Who We Represent

A product recall does not prevent you from filing a claim. Injuries caused before or after a recall may still qualify for compensation.
