Common Product Liability Cases in Cranberry Township

Faulty products can be found in Cranberry Township homes, workplaces, and medical facilities.

Faulty automobile parts are a common issue, such as recent recall of defective airbags that affected hundreds of local drivers. When manufacturers fail to disclose safety issues, dealerships along Route 19 may unknowingly sell affected vehicles.

Local cases often involve faulty medical devices. Patients from UPMC Passavant and Butler Memorial Hospital have suffered complications from defective joint replacements, surgical mesh, and cardiac devices. Our lawyers bring claims against both the device manufacturers and healthcare providers.

Defective manufacturing equipment is common in Western Pennsylvania’s industrial environment. Employees at Butler County’s manufacturing plants have been injured by faulty safety guards, malfunctioning hydraulic systems, and defective power tools. Many of these accidents are catastrophic and lead to long-term disability.

Butler County construction workers are at risk, as well. We’ve made recoveries for local contractors injured by failing scaffolding systems, defective power tools, and malfunctioning heavy machinery. Multiple parties may be involved, from manufacturers to rental companies.

Many Cranberry Township families are injured by consumer products. Our cases have included exploding e-cigarettes purchased from local vape shops, pressure cookers that malfunctioned despite normal use, and children’s toys with dangerous design flaws sold at Cranberry Mall. Accidents involving defective home exercise equipment are becoming common as well.

Our Cranberry Township personal injury attorneys can ensure that you recover what you are owed when a faulty product causes harm. Call today to schedule your free case review.

Wrongful Death

In some cases, dangerous products result in the death of a loved one. While money cannot replace your family member, filing a wrongful death claim against the liable party can bring much-needed closure and a sense of justice.

Product liability claims need both legal and technical expertise in order to succeed. Our law firm works with specialists to prove your case. Call us today to discuss your next legal steps.

Understanding PA Product Liability Laws

Pennsylvania law protects consumers who have been harmed by defective products. Manufacturers can be held responsible for the harm their products cause, regardless of whether they knew about the defect. You do not need to establish negligence in a Cranberry Township product liability case, only that the product was defective and caused your injury.

The state recognizes three main defect types:

• Design defects occur when the product’s blueprint was inherently dangerous, like the recent recalls of infant sleepers that posed suffocation risks to Butler County families.
• Manufacturing defects occur when products aren’t made according to specifications.
• Failure to warn defects happen when companies don’t properly alert consumers to product risks, like medications sold in Cranberry Township pharmacies without adequate warning labels.

The state Supreme Court recently confirmed that manufacturers can’t escape liability just because a product met government safety standards, strengthening consumer protections in these cases.

Statute of Limitations for Product Liability Claims

You must file your Pennsylvania product liability case within two years of the accident. In cases where you couldn’t reasonably know about the defect immediately, this deadline may be extended under the “discovery rule.” Our Cranberry Township attorneys make sure your case is filed on time.

Compensation Available

You are entitled to compensation for all your damages, including:

• Payment for medical treatment at local facilities like UPMC
• Lost income from missed work at Butler County employers
• Long-term care needs
• Physical pain
• Emotional distress
• Decreased quality of life

In cases where manufacturers showed reckless disregard for consumer safety, additional punitive damages may be available.

Insurance companies are often quick to offer a settlement. However, many of these offers will not cover the full extent of your losses. Call our team today to discuss how we can protect you from lowball settlement offers.
