Product liability cases can be tricky and you will want to make sure you understand your rights before you make any decisions about what to do next. If you were hurt by a defective product<\/a> , contact an experienced South Carolina personal injury lawyer right away. <\/p>\n

A lot of people believe that they can’t claim damages if they were hurt by a product that has been recalled, but that’s not necessarily the case. Our civil justice system leaves the door open for injured people to get the compensation they need from the responsible parties for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Whether a product has been recalled or not, you have options.<\/p>\n

Of course, a recall can add a layer of complication to your case.<\/p>\n

A manufacturer issues a recall when there is a defect in its product. The defect could be dangerous and put consumers at physical risk, or it could simply be a defect that keeps the product from operating properly. Manufacturers can voluntarily recall a product; offering to repair, replace or refund the product. If a recall isn’t voluntary, one of three regulators can require the manufacturer to recall a product for safety reasons.<\/p>\n
