Product Liability Cases We Handle

From design defects to failure to warn claims, we fight for Blythewood families injured by all types of dangerous and defective products.

Defective Design Claims

Arise when inherent flaws make products unreasonably dangerous, even when manufactured correctly according to specifications. We prove design choices created foreseeable hazards.

Manufacturing Defect Cases

Involve products that deviate from intended design during production, creating hazards that slip past quality control measures. We expose breakdown in manufacturing processes.

Failure to Warn Claims

Hold companies liable for inadequate instructions, missing safety labels, or insufficient hazard warnings about foreseeable risks that consumers should have been told about.

Dangerous Pharmaceuticals

Cause serious complications when testing shortcuts, undisclosed side effects, or faulty components harm patients. We fight against pharmaceutical companies that hide risks.

Defective Automotive Parts

Including airbags, tires, brakes, and fuel systems create catastrophic injury risks for Blythewood drivers and passengers. We hold auto manufacturers accountable.

Children's Product Defects

Held to strictest liability standards because toys, cribs, car seats, and juvenile furniture must meet heightened safety requirements to protect our most vulnerable consumers.

Strict Liability Applies

South Carolina law holds manufacturers strictly liable for defective products regardless of fault or negligence—if the product was defective and caused injury, they're responsible.

Immediate Steps After a Product Injury

Taking the right steps immediately after a product-related injury protects your legal rights and preserves critical evidence for your case.

Seek Emergency Medical Treatment

Get medical attention immediately, even for seemingly minor injuries that could develop complications or mask serious internal damage. Medical records document your injuries.

Preserve the Defective Product

Keep the product exactly as it was when injury occurred. Avoid repairs, modifications, or disposal that destroys critical evidence needed to prove the defect.

Document Everything

Photograph product condition, injury location, warning labels, packaging, receipts, and instruction manuals. This evidence may be impossible to recreate later.

Report the Incident

Notify the retailer and manufacturer in writing, creating a paper trail while memories remain fresh and details stay accurate.

Avoid Signing Documents

Don't sign any documents, recorded statements, or settlement offers from manufacturers or insurance companies before consulting an attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about product liability cases and defective product claims in Blythewood.

What is product liability?

Product liability holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers legally responsible when defective products cause injuries. South Carolina applies strict liability, meaning companies are responsible regardless of fault if products were defective.

How do I know if I have a product liability case?

You may have a case if a product was defective (design flaw, manufacturing defect, or inadequate warnings), you used it as intended, and it caused your injuries. Contact McGuire Law for a free case evaluation.

What should I do with the defective product?

Preserve it exactly as it was when injury occurred. Don't repair, modify, or dispose of it. The product is critical evidence for proving the defect caused your injuries.

Can I sue if I modified the product?

Modifications may affect your case but don't automatically bar recovery. We analyze whether the defect would have caused injury regardless of modifications. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

How long do I have to file a product liability claim?

South Carolina has specific statutes of limitations for product liability claims. Contact McGuire Law immediately to ensure your rights are protected before deadlines pass.

What compensation can I recover?

Compensation includes medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of consortium, and punitive damages when manufacturers showed reckless disregard for safety.

How long do product liability cases take?

Cases typically take 1-3 years depending on complexity, number of defendants, and whether manufacturers aggressively contest liability. We push for maximum compensation without unnecessary delay.

What does a product liability lawyer cost?

We handle product liability cases on contingency, meaning you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation. We advance all costs for experts, investigation, and litigation.
