It is surprisingly common for people to be injured by defective products. Product liability claims are made by injured parties against manufacturers of products to offset medical bills, emotional trauma, loss of wages, and any other damages that may be caused by defective or dangerous products. The product liability attorneys at Siegfried & Jensen in the Salt Lake City, Utah area pursue these suits on the part of the victims of defective products. Product liability claims are generally based on either alleged negligence – which focuses on the actions of the manufacturer, distributor, etc. – or strict liability – which focuses on problems with the product itself. A wide variety of case types fall under the product liability category.

Motor vehicle manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their products comply with certain safety regulations. These regulations set standards for protecting a vehicle's passengers in the event of a crash. Unfortunately, some vehicles do not meet adequate safety standards, either because of isolated manufacturing errors or because of inadequate design, manufacturing procedures, or materials. Motor vehicle crashworthiness is crucial to your safety, which is why it is important to hold manufacturers responsible for sub-par work. If you have been injured in an automobile accident as a result of a design or manufacturing error, you may have a case that warrants looking for product liability attorneys. The Salt Lake City, Utah-area law firm of Siegfried & Jensen is a good place to start.

Medtronic, Inc. and Guidant Corporation are two of the biggest manufacturers of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in the United States. In 2005, both companies announced recalls affecting tens of thousands of ICD devices after a number of deaths occurred because ICDs manufactured by the two companies malfunctioned. As a result of these recalls, nearly 200,000 individuals will require additional surgery to replace defective ICDs, exposing them to added risk, discomfort, and time away from normal work and other activities. Medtronic and Guidant are required by law to cover the expenses incurred as a result of their defective ICDs. Affected patients should retain product liability attorneys to ensure that they are fairly reimbursed.

Numerous legal standards regulate the quality and safety of commercially available food products. When a restaurant, grocer, or producer of food products fails to meet those standards, food poisoning, E. coli contamination, and other medical problems can result. These problems can be extremely serious and may force you to miss work or spend time in the hospital. In rare cases, they can even be life-threatening. If you have suffered from food poisoning or E. coli, a food provider may be legally responsible and product liability attorneys may be able to hold the provider liable.
