Connecticut Product Liability Lawyer
Defective Product Injury? Know Your Rights.
Injured by a defective product? A Connecticut product liability lawyer can help you make sense of what happened and what comes next. Whether it’s a malfunctioning appliance in Vernon or Tolland, or a tire or airbag failure on I-84 near Manchester, we investigate what went wrong, explain your legal options, and pursue recovery from the responsible parties—so you can focus on healing.
When a Faulty Product Causes Harm
When a defective product causes injury, the issue typically falls into one of three categories: a flawed design, a manufacturing error, or a failure to include proper warnings or instructions. To support your claim, hold onto the product if it’s safe to do so, along with the original packaging, any instructions or manuals, receipts, and photographs of both the scene and your injuries.
If the failure happened on the road, such as with a faulty tire or airbag, our team can guide you on how that may overlap with a car accident claim. If the injury occurred while using equipment on the job, we’ll also explain how workers’ comp may factor into your recovery path. Have questions about what to preserve or how your claim might intersect with other areas? Contact our team for a free case review—we’ll help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

When a product fails and causes harm, we help build a clear, evidence-based case. That starts with understanding how the product broke down and collecting the documentation needed to prove it. Our team assists with:
Design defects that make a product unreasonably dangerous, even when used correctly
Manufacturing defects that affect a single item or batch
Failures to warn users about foreseeable risks or misuse
Injuries tied to household goods, tools, auto parts, and medical devices across South Windsor, East Hartford, and Rockville
We coordinate inspections and ensure the right professionals evaluate the product—so your claim moves forward with clarity and credibility.
Preserve the Evidence, Protect Your Claim
Manufacturers and insurers often act quickly after a reported injury, sometimes before you've even had a chance to gather what you need. Preserving the defective item, avoiding repairs or disposal, and keeping packaging, receipts, and manuals can significantly strengthen your case. Our team steps in early to coordinate communications, guide documentation, and make sure your rights are protected at every stage.

Product Liability FAQs to Clarify Your Claim
Is a recall required to bring a product claim?
No. Many valid claims involve products without a formal recall; the key is proving a defect and causation.
Do I need to keep the defective product?
Yes—if it’s safe, keep the item, packaging, receipts, and manuals. The product itself is critical evidence for inspection and testing.
What if I bought the item used or secondhand?
A claim may still exist depending on the defect type, warnings, and chain of distribution. Save proof of purchase and any service or complaint history.
Should I join a class action or file my own claim?
Class actions can help with widespread issues, but an individual claim may better reflect your specific injuries and losses. We’ll discuss pros and cons based on your situation.
