New Orleans Product Liability Lawyers

Attorneys Fighting for Victims of Dangerous and Defective Products in Louisiana

In layman’s terms, product liability refers to the legal duty that manufacturers, distributors, advertisers and, in some cases, retailers have in order to take reasonable steps to ensure that their products are safe for their intended use.

What this means for people who have suffered serious injury or the loss of a loved one due to a dangerous or defective product is that the law may be on your side. In these situations, you have a right to seek compensation.

At the New Orleans law firm of Stephenson, Chávarri & Dawson, our attorneys have the skills and experience you are looking for if you need help to hold a manufacturer to account for the harm its negligence has caused you and your family.

At Stephenson, Chávarri & Dawson, you will work directly with an experienced lawyer. When you hire us to handle a product liability claim, you can expect personal attention, thorough investigation and aggressive representation.

Our firm is particularly interested in product liability cases involving medical appliances and drugs, such as:

  • Defective surgical screws and pins, such as those used in knee surgery
  • Broken biopsy needles
  • Faulty pacemakers, pain pumps and other implants
  • Dangerous drugs, such as statins (e.g. Baycol)

Almost every day, a new drug or medical device becomes available. While most of these have undergone rigorous safety testing and represent a real advancement in the treatment of injury and illness, some manufacturers cut corners and place consumers needlessly at risk. Product liability claims can be an effective way to punish negligent companies and obtain the recovery injured parties need.
