Preserving a Defective Product
If you have been injured by a product, it is important that you contact a Green Bay product liability lawyer right away. The nature of a product liability case is quite complex, and it is important to have an attorney who can make sure all the necessary evidence is collected and preserved.
The first few days after an accident are critical for a product liability case. The defective product is to be stored in a locked facility. Some investigators may seek to obtain the product from you. Do not give the product to an investigator without first consulting your attorney. Manufacturers will read newspapers and attempt to obtain evidence so that the plaintiff is not able to pursue a claim against them.
If you are unable to secure the product immediately, it is important to alert everyone involved that the product needs to be preserved as evidence. If the individuals fail to help preserve the evidence, they can be held liable. This can include tow-truck drivers, police impounds, and wrecking yards. An attorney can file a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to evade alterations or destructive testing of the product.
One cannot afford to waste time in a product liability case. After all injuries have been cared for, it is important that contacting an experienced Green Bay defective product lawyer becomes a priority. You have rights as a citizen, and you do not want to lose your opportunity to be awarded damages. Do not take the financial burden for someone else’s negligence.
