Products Liability Attorney in Fresno, CA Offering Effective Advocacy for Clients

Winning compensation for injuries caused by dangerous household objects

Defective products are any commercial goods — items such as toys, household items, firearms and pharmaceuticals — that are dangerous or harmful when used in the normal way, do not have proper instructions, or are inherently dangerous because of design or manufacturing defects. Without a seasoned attorney, it can often be difficult to identify and prove the failures in the manufacturing or design processes.

Jacob J. Rivas Attorney at Law thoroughly investigates and assesses all of the legal and technical aspects of your case. If you are injured by a defective product in Tulare or Merced, Mr. Rivas fights aggressively and intelligently for you.

BRINGING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS ACCIDENTS SUITS IN COURT

Defective products advocacy requires the ability to take on established companies and vast knowledge of the common legal theories used to sue for defective products, such as the following:

  • Design defect — The product is not safe for its normal intended use, and sometimes for its predictable use. For example, an otherwise safe product may be dangerous if used with a companion product.
  • Manufacturing defects — The product was not manufactured properly, including defective or dangerous parts.
  • Marketing defects — Products must carry warning labels and instructions for proper use. For example, plastic garbage bags require warnings that they are not suitable for use by young children.

Mr. Rivas is an experienced personal injury lawyer who brings phenomenal investigative and analytical skills to bear on manufacturing and design process failures. Because of his past defense experience, he will always realistically assess the level of compensation you can win.

COMPASSIONATE ADVOCACY FOR YOUR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT INJURIES
