What Is a Product Liability Claim and How Does It Work?

A product liability claim allows you to pursue compensation when an unsafe product causes injury. Under Arizona Revised Statute § 12-681, a product liability action includes any lawsuit against a manufacturer or seller for injuries, death, or property damage that result from a product’s design, construction, testing, labeling, sale, or use, or from a company’s failure to provide proper warnings or instructions.

In everyday language, this law ensures manufacturers are held responsible when their products cause preventable harm. Our team investigates what went wrong, whether during design, assembly, or labeling, and how that defect directly contributed to your losses. Once we confirm responsibility, we pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, and the injury’s lasting effects on your life. We guide you through every stage of the process:

  1. Investigation: Gathering the defective product, photos, and reports.
  2. Expert Review: Working with engineers or safety specialists to identify the flaw.
  3. Filing the Claim: Naming the responsible company or distributor.
  4. Negotiation or Trial: Pushing for a fair settlement or taking the case to court when necessary.

Our goal is simple: to protect consumers and ensure negligence never goes unanswered, delivering justice, accountability, and lasting peace of mind for every injured client.

When Can a Manufacturer or Seller Be Held Responsible for Your Injuries?

Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can all share responsibility when a defective product harms someone. They are liable when an item is unreasonably dangerous, even when used as intended. Common grounds include:

  • Design defects: The product’s blueprint itself makes it unsafe.
  • Manufacturing defects: Errors occur during production or assembly.
  • Failure to warn: The company knew of risks but failed to alert consumers.
  • Improper labeling or instructions: Confusing or incomplete information leads to unsafe use.

As your product liability lawyer Tucson residents trust, we analyze every step in the product’s chain, from design to sale,  to uncover where negligence occurred and pursue the responsible parties under Arizona law.

Client Reviews

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Common Types of Defective Products That Cause Serious Harm

Everyday items can become hazardous when quality control fails. Products frequently involved in serious injury claims include:

  • Automobile components such as airbags, seatbelts, or braking systems that malfunction.
  • Home appliances that overheat, short-circuit, or start fires.
  • Children’s toys containing small detachable parts or toxic materials.
  • Medical devices like implants or pacemakers that fail inside the body.
  • Pharmaceutical drugs lack proper dosage warnings.
  • Power tools are missing guards or clear safety instructions.

Our firm acts quickly to collect and preserve defective items before evidence disappears. We coordinate with product engineers and safety experts to prove exactly how a product defect led to your injury.

Deadlines and Statutes of Limitations in Arizona Product Liability Cases

Deadlines play a major role in product liability claims. According to A.R.S. § 12-551, most Arizona product liability lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury date. The statute also limits actions to twelve years after the product was first sold, unless the claim involves negligence or a breach of an express warranty by the manufacturer or seller.

Timing matters. Missing these deadlines can bar your claim permanently. Our firm files quickly to preserve your right to recover compensation and ensure all paperwork meets statutory requirements before time runs out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Have a Product Liability Case?

Yes, if a defective or unsafe product caused injury or property loss. To qualify, you must show that the defect existed when the product left the manufacturer and that it directly resulted in your harm.

Arizona law provides a two-year filing window for personal injury actions under A.R.S. § 12-542, which also applies to product liability claims. Speaking with a product liability lawyer Tucson residents trust can clarify whether your case meets these standards.

What Makes a Product “Defective”?

A product is defective when it fails to perform safely during everyday use. Defects may involve poor design, faulty assembly, or missing warnings. Even when a company follows basic manufacturing protocols, it can still be liable if the product presents an unreasonable danger.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Product Liability Lawsuit?

You may recover compensation for every loss caused by the defective product, including:

  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages and diminished earning ability
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members

Punitive damages may also be available when a company knowingly disregards public safety.
