Product Injuries in Middletown, CT
A defective product can cause serious, life-changing injuries. Even with knowledge of widespread problems or known deficiencies, manufacturers rarely take responsibility unless forced to do so. Our defective product lawyer is committed to making negligent manufacturers accountable for the harm they cause.
We Protect Your Legal Rights
At Baber Law, our Middletown defective product lawyers work diligently on your behalf. Our legal team becomes your advocate, investigating your occurrence and evaluating your injuries. We work to overcome the challenges inherent to proving liability for your injuries and protecting your legal rights.
Protecting Your Rights and Your Evidence
When you contact Baber Law, we can intervene before manufacturers or their attorneys mislead you into compromising your rights. We strongly recommend the following proactive steps:
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Follow your doctor’s orders, as this also confirms your injuries.
- Track Your Recovery: When you’re ready to consider a settlement, you’ll need to demonstrate how your injuries altered your life. You can accomplish this by keeping a daily journal throughout your recovery. Share details about your pain, physical restrictions, family and spousal relationship disruption, inability to work, and other injury-related problems.
- Consult a Product Defect Attorney: Never discuss your claim with the manufacturer or their insurer. They will seek information without a commitment to pay your claim.
- NEVER Surrender the Defective Product: A manufacturer’s primary goal is to retrieve the product. Don’t return it or give it to a claims adjuster, even if they offer reimbursement. When you give up a defective product, you relinquish control over the most critical evidence and prevent your attorney’s experts from conducting important testing.
Establishing Liability
Connecticut statutes permit a product liability claim against a “Product Seller” and/or a “Manufacturer.” These broad definitions allow legal action based on every stage of the product lifecycle, specifically:
- Design, Testing, or Formula
- Manufacture, Assembly, or Construction
- Packaging, Labeling, or Warnings
- Marketing or Instructions
We may file a lawsuit under one or more legal theories, such as Strict Liability, Negligence, or Breach of Warranty. To prove a defect, we often hire an expert to test and evaluate the product.
Seeking Compensation for Your Injuries
When we negotiate our clients’ claims, we seek comprehensive compensation:
- Economic Damages: This includes out-of-pocket costs for current and future medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation costs, funeral expenses, and other expenses.
- Non-Economic Losses: We negotiate compensation for pain and suffering, mental health issues, scarring, disfigurement, diminished spousal and family relationships, and other personal losses.
- Punitive Damages: In rare cases, a court may award these damages to punish a manufacturer when evidence proves they showed “…reckless disregard for the safety of the product users…”
Connecticut Product Liability Statute of Limitations
In Middletown, you have three years to resolve a product liability claim or file a lawsuit. Connecticut General Statutes defines this deadline in Chapter 926, §52-577a. Your countdown begins when you first sustain or discover, through “…the exercise of reasonable care…”, that a defective product may have caused injury, death, or property damage.
The statute includes several complex provisions that define your right to make a claim or file a lawsuit. When you schedule a consultation with Baber Law, we can discuss the specific deadlines for your situation. When our law firm represents you, we ensure compliance with critical time limits.
Contingency Fees
Baber Law handles Middletown product liability claims on a contingency billing basis. We work to resolve your claim and protect your legal interests. We won’t send you a bill until we settle your case.
