Products Liability

Recovering losses due to defective or dangerous products

Product designers, manufacturers, marketers and sellers all have a legal responsibility to ensure that the products they put on the market — from tiny prescription pills to huge construction cranes — are safe to use or clearly demarcate their potential for danger. When a product harms a consumer using it because of a defect or misrepresentation, these companies may be legally responsible for damages.

Representing injured individuals in products liability lawsuits is an important part of our practice at Lewis, Babcock & Griffin, LLP. Our firm has helped consumers and workers recover compensation for injuries caused by dangerous products including consumer and commercial goods, pharmaceuticals and toxic substances including fertilizers, asbestos, silica, OxyContin and benlate.

South Carolina products liability rules

If you have been injured using a product, the seller of the product may be held legally responsible. Under South Carolina law, we must prove that:

The product was defective or inadequate warning labels or instructions were provided, which made use of the product unreasonably dangerous.
You used the product the way it was supposed to be used.
The defect caused your injury.
You suffered damages.

Contact Lewis, Babcock & Griffin, LLP. online for help in determining if these conditions can be met in your case.

The stakes are high

Because both large awards of damages and substantial future sales and profits are at stake for manufacturers and sellers of these products, products liability cases are often vigorously defended by the responsible companies. This in turn raises the costs required to get to successful settlement or litigation of these claims — often beyond the current means of the injured person. That is why Lewis, Babcock & Griffin, LLP. takes these cases on a contingency basis, so that you do not have to invest any money upfront.
