What is Products Liability Law?

Products liability law compensates victims injured by dangerous and defective products. Products liability law ensures that the parties responsible for causing damage are also responsible for the high costs of injuries resulting from defective products. Designers, manufacturers, and even suppliers of defective products can be required to pay for the injuries to consumers as a result of the defects or hazards in the product. The Higgins Firm lawyers represent Tennessee victims harmed by defective products to earn our clients the awards they deserve from the corporations or manufacturers who sold or manufactured the unsafe products that resulted in a personal injury.
