How Much Is My Phoenix Product Liability Case Worth?
Every defective product case is unique, and determining its value requires a careful evaluation of your injuries and other relevant factors.
Some of the factors that can influence your compensation include:
- The severity and permanence of your injuries
- Cost of medical treatment, including future and long-term care
- Lost wages, loss of earning capacity, or inability to return to your previous work
- Pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Whether multiple consumers were harmed, potentially triggering mass tort or class action litigation
- The quality and strength of the evidence linking the defect to your injury
The best way to determine the value of your case is to consult with an experienced law firm. KRLG Injury Lawyers works closely with medical professionals, engineers, and economic specialists to calculate the full value of your damages.
What Compensation Can I Recover in an Arizona Product Liability Case?
When a defective product injures you, Arizona law allows you to seek economic and non-economic damages. These categories of compensation are designed to make you whole by addressing both your financial losses and the personal impact of your injuries.
You may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Emergency medical care, hospitalization, and surgeries
- Future medical needs, rehabilitation, therapy, and long-term treatment
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage caused by the defective product
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Scarring, disfigurement, or permanent disability
- Loss of consortium or impact on family relationships
- Funeral and burial expenses (in fatal cases)
Our legal team will help you track and calculate all your damages related to a product defect injury.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Product Liability Lawyer in Phoenix?
Most product liability attorneys handle these cases on a contingency fee basis. Under a contingency fee arrangement, you pay no upfront costs and are not responsible for hourly fees or retainers.
Your law firm advances all litigation expenses, including experts, depositions, and court filings. In fact, you only pay attorney’s fees if your lawyer wins compensation for you. Their fee is taken as a percentage of the recovery.
We offer contingency fees in all product liability cases because we believe that everyone should have access to high-quality legal representation.
The Three Main Types of Product Defects in Arizona
Arizona law recognizes three primary types of product defects. Identifying which defect applies to your case is essential for proving your injuries and damages.
1. Design Defects
A design defect exists when the product was unsafe from the start, meaning every unit manufactured with that design poses the same threat.
2. Manufacturing Defects
Manufacturing defects occur when a product’s design is safe, but something goes wrong during assembly or production. In some cases, only some of the products in a batch may be defective.
3. Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn)
Manufacturers and distributors must provide clear warnings about foreseeable dangers of using a product. Failure to provide adequate instructions or warnings may result in liability for any injuries.
Our team will analyze your situation to determine which defect(s) apply to your case. Then, we’ll develop a strategy to hold the manufacturer or distributor fully accountable.
We Handle All Types of Defective Product Cases in Phoenix
Dangerous or defective products appear in every industry. We represent victims harmed by:
- Defective automotive parts (e.g., airbags, brakes, seat belts, tires)
- Faulty household appliances that cause shocks, burns, or fires
- Unsafe medical devices such as hip implants, surgical mesh, and pacemakers
- Dangerous prescription drugs with undisclosed side effects
- Hazardous children’s toys, strollers, cribs, or car seats
- Construction equipment or industrial machinery with missing safety features
- Contaminated foods, supplements, or beverages
- Lithium-ion batteries that explode or overheat
If a product failed while you were using it, we will investigate every link in the supply chain and identify all responsible parties.
Proving Liability in an Arizona Product Liability Case
Strict liability is a key component of Arizona’s product liability law. This legal doctrine helps protect consumers by making it easier to hold manufacturers and sellers responsible for harm caused by their products, even if they weren’t negligent.
To win your product liability claim in Arizona, your attorney must prove:
- The product had a defect in its design, manufacturing, or warnings.
- You used the product as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way.
- The defect directly caused your injury or made your injuries worse.
- You suffered damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
Unlike in other types of injury cases, product liability does not require proving that the manufacturer acted carelessly. Instead, the focus is on whether the product was safe for consumer use.
What Are Common Injuries Caused by Defective Products?
Defective products can cause a wide range of injuries, from mild to catastrophic. Some injuries heal with time, while others result in lifelong disabilities.
We handle claims involving:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) caused by defective helmets, malfunctioning vehicles, or collapsing products
- Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis, from falls, chair failures, or heavy equipment defects
- Severe burns, scarring, and electrical injuries from faulty appliances or electronic devices
- Organ damage and internal injuries caused by toxic drugs or contaminated food
- Amputations and crushed limbs due to unsafe machinery or industrial tools
- Electrocution resulting from poorly wired products or defective electronics
- Fractures, orthopedic injuries, and joint damage from collapsing furniture, ladders, beds, or children’s gear
- Vision or hearing loss, often associated with defective industrial tools or unprotected exposure to dangerous equipment
We know how traumatic, painful, and expensive these injuries can be for both victims and their families. Our goal is to make sure they take responsibility for the harm they’ve caused.
How Long Do I Have to File a Product Liability Lawsuit in Arizona?
If a defective product injured you in Phoenix, you must act quickly to preserve your right to compensation. Arizona law provides victims with a limited timeframe to file a lawsuit.
Under state law, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file your product liability lawsuit. Missing this two-year deadline means you will almost certainly forfeit your ability to pursue compensation for your case.
Arizona also enforces a strict 12-year statute of repose. If the product was first sold more than 12 years ago, you generally cannot file a product liability lawsuit, even if you were recently injured.
There are limited exceptions, but the deadlines are strict. Once you contact our office, we will begin working immediately to protect your rights and secure the evidence needed to build a strong case.
