Product Liability Case Preparation

If you are injured by a defective product, it is important that you contact a Green Bay personal injury attorney immediately. In order to properly prepare your case for court, your lawyer will need to start inquiries as soon as possible after the incident.

Your attorney will need a complete history of the dangerous or defective product. Details such as the date of original sale, identity of the dealer, distributor, purchasers, lessees, and users will be asked for. All written documents, such as the instruction booklet, warranties, assembly booklet, and any other paperwork which accompanied the product at the time of sale, will be collected.

If the product was modified or changed in anyway, it needs to be reported as well. Such a report must record the identity of the person(s) responsible for the modification and the dates on which the modifications took place.

Successful product liability cases generally require the testimony of an expert in the field. This could include an engineer, safety expert, or medical professional. Finding a qualified expert to testify is a key to proving that a design or manufacturing defect is responsible for your subsequent injuries. In addition, psychologists or experts in human behavior might also play important roles. They can testify whether people can safely use the product based on human tendencies.

Expert testing is often needed to provide evidence of whether the product failed or could fail in the manner which the plaintiff alleges.
