Protect Your Rights from Those Who Failed to Protect You
Dedicated Representation in Cases of Products Liability in East Tennessee
Retailers, manufacturers and service providers who place their products and services into the marketplace are responsible for making sure that consumers who use their products are safe and secure. If you are injured through improper design or a product defect, you deserve to be compensated in order to get the recovery that you need.
At the Stapleton Law Office, we represent clients in cases of products liability. Defective products that lead to personal injury and wrongful death are serious issues and the pursuit of these cases is not only important for our clients but to protect others who may be injured by these products in the future.
In many cases where a person is seriously injured as a result of a defective product, the manufacturer whose product caused the injury may attempt to deny responsibility for accident, may shift blame for the accident from their design to your use of the product, or may try to settle the case with you for much less than the case is worth.
Important Questions ● Honest Answers
"How do I know if my injury was caused by a defective product? What are some examples of defective products?"

- Defective safety equipment, such as safety guards, asbestos filters, and other life-threatening health hazards
- Defective mechanical equipment and tools, such as belts, forklifts, elevators and other machines and equipment
- Defective tools, such as saws, sanders and others that result in an injury
What to Do If You are Hurt
Before talking to your insurance company, your employer or the company whose product caused your serious injury, you need to contact an experienced attorney who will investigate your case and offer you honest recommendations. You may have a limited time to file a claim for an injury from a faulty product, so the early investigation of products liability claims can be vital.
Taking appropriate steps to preserve physical evidence, investigate the workplace or scene of the accident, take witness statements and have evidence evaluated by qualified experts is often time consuming and complex. By contacting a personal injury lawyer right away, you can take the initiative in your case and give yourself a chance to pursue your claims.
