The Ugly Reality: How Defective Products Lead to Wrongful Deaths 

When companies put defective products on the market, they put lives at risk. Wrongful death claims involving these products usually fall under one of three categories: 

  • Design Defects – The product was dangerous from the start because of a flawed design. Every unit produced carries the same risk. 
  • Manufacturing Defects – Something went wrong during production, making certain products dangerous, even if the design was sound. 
  • Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects) – If a product lacks proper warnings or instructions, people unknowingly put themselves in danger. 

These cases aren’t easy, but that’s where we come in. Our legal team of personal injury attorneys digs deep, uncovering the truth and proving negligence every step of the way. 

Deadly Products Lurking in Your Home and Workplace 

You shouldn’t have to worry that everyday products could kill you or someone you love. But defective products do just that—turning homes, cars, and workplaces into danger zones. Here are some of the most deadly culprits: 

  • Defective Vehicles – Faulty brakes, exploding airbags, and rollover-prone SUVs have led to tragic accidents. NHTSA reports that millions of vehicles are recalled every year because they pose a life-threatening risk. 
  • Unsafe Medical Devices – Pacemakers, implants, and insulin pumps that fail can be fatal. The FDA regularly recalls devices linked to serious injury and death. 
  • Dangerous Pharmaceuticals – Some medications carry undisclosed risks, causing deadly complications. Adverse drug reactions are a leading cause of fatal medical emergencies. 
  • Faulty Household Appliances – That everyday toaster, heater, or washing machine could be a fire or electrocution hazard. CPSC recalls reveal thousands of dangerous home products each year. 
  • Toxic Children’s Products – Parents assume children’s products are safe, but many contain choking hazards, lead, or defective car seats that fail in crashes. The CPSC tracks recalls of hazardous baby and kids’ products. 
  • Industrial and Workplace Equipment – Defective power tools, heavy machinery, or protective gear can turn a regular workday into a fatal accident. OSHA monitors recalls of dangerous workplace products. 

If one of these products—or something else—caused your loved one’s death, you deserve answers. We’re here to help you get them. 

Proving Negligence: The Key to Winning Your Case 

To hold a company accountable, we have to prove four critical things: 

  1. The Product Was Defective – We work with experts to show it was dangerously designed, built, or labeled. 
  2. The Defect Caused the Death – A direct link must exist between the product and your loved one’s passing. 
  3. The Product Was Used as Intended – The victim wasn’t misusing the product—it failed under normal use. 
  4. The Death Resulted in Damages – Loss of income, funeral costs, emotional suffering, and more all factor in. 

We don’t just build cases—we build rock-solid, undeniable claims that force companies to take responsibility. 

Who Has the Right to Seek Justice? 

If you lost someone to a defective product, you might be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. Typically, the following family members can take legal action: 

  • Spouses – A surviving husband or wife has first priority to file. 
  • Children – Whether minors or adults, children can fight for justice for a lost parent. 
  • Parents of a Deceased Child – If the victim was unmarried and had no children, their parents may file. 
  • Personal Representatives of the Estate – Sometimes, an executor files on behalf of surviving family members. 

If you’re not sure if you qualify, don’t worry—we’ll walk you through everything and explain your options clearly. 

What’s Your Loved One’s Life Worth? Understanding Compensation 

No amount of money can bring back someone you love, but a wrongful death claim can ease the financial burden and hold the responsible party accountable. Compensation in these cases often includes: 

  • Medical Expenses – Any treatment costs before your loved one passed. 
  • Funeral and Burial Costs – The high costs of saying goodbye shouldn’t fall on you. 
  • Lost Income and Benefits – If they were a provider, we fight to recover what they would’ve earned. 
  • Pain and Suffering – Compensation for the emotional devastation of losing a loved one. 
  • Loss of Companionship – For spouses, children, and parents who now face life without them. 
  • Punitive Damages – In extreme negligence cases, extra damages are awarded to punish the company. 

We fight to get you every penny you deserve—because your loss deserves recognition, and your future deserves security. 

We Fight Big Corporations—And Win 

Taking on a powerful corporation isn’t easy, but we’ve done it before—and won. Here’s what sets us apart:
