Product Liability Injury Claims
A defective product can injure you at home, work, or in a public space. While a minor injury may heal quickly, machines, appliances, and even toys can cause serious, life-changing trauma. Since manufacturers rarely accept responsibility, our Connecticut defective product lawyer can protect your legal rights.
At Baber Law, we’re committed to making product manufacturers pay for the damages they cause. We work diligently to overcome the challenges of proving product liability.
Protecting Your Rights and Your Evidence
When you contact us, we can intervene before the manufacturer or their attorneys try to mislead you into giving up your rights. We recommend these steps to protect your right to make a claim:
- Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the highest priority. Seek medical attention and follow your doctor’s orders to document your injuries.
- Consult With A Product Defect Attorney: You should never discuss your claim with the manufacturer or their insurer. They will want answers without committing to paying your injury claim. An attorney can deal with insurers and manufacturers when necessary. They protect your legal rights by intervening on your behalf.
- NEVER Give the Defective Product to Anyone Except Your Attorney: Manufacturers make retrieving their defective product their number one goal. Don’t return it, even if they offer to reimburse you. Giving up the product means your attorney’s experts won’t be able to test it. It also means giving up control of the most critical evidence for proving your claim.
Establishing Liability in Product Liability Claims
Connecticut statutes give you the right to make a product liability claim against a “Product Seller” and/or a “Manufacturer.” These statutes provide broad definitions for these entities, allowing legal action based on every step of the manufacture, distribution, and sales process:
- Design, Testing, or Formula
- Manufacture, Assembly, or Construction
- Packaging, Labeling, or Warnings
- Marketing or Instructions
We may recommend filing a lawsuit, citing one or more legal theories. These may include Strict Liability, Negligence, or Breach of Warranty. To prove a defect, we may hire an expert to test and evaluate the product.
Compensation for Product Injuries
When appropriate, we attempt to negotiate your claim, seeking economic and non-economic damages:
- Economic Damages: Current and future medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation costs, and funeral expenses.
- Non-Economic Losses: Compensation for scarring, family relationship disruptions, disfigurement, pain, suffering, mental health issues, etc.
- Punitive Damages: In rare instances, a court may award punitive damages to punish a manufacturer. The evidence must prove the seller showed “…reckless disregard for the safety of the product users…”.

We Work on a Contingency Basis
When Baber Law handles your claim, we work on a contingency billing basis. We protect your legal interests and work to resolve your claim. We never send you a bill until we settle your claim or obtain a judgment at trial.
Connecticut Product Liability Statute of Limitations
In Connecticut, you have three years to resolve your product liability claim or file a lawsuit. The statute of limitations has several additional provisions that may be somewhat confusing. Your timeframe begins when you first sustain or discover “…in the exercise of reasonable care…” that an injury, death, or property damage may be related to a defective product.
Chapter 926, §52-577a, product liability statute of limitations, includes several contingent provisions that further define your legal right to make a claim. When you schedule a consultation with Baber Law, we can discuss your accident and take steps to ensure compliance with these time frames.
