- Toxic toys
- Defective vehicles
- Asbestos
- E-cigarettes
- Endoscope infections

Malfunctions in these devices and products can cause any amount of harm to you or your loved ones. You deserve justice if these were made improperly, and our West Plains personal injury attorney knows what it takes to win.
Determining Defective Product Liability
Determining who is at fault for an injury caused by a defective product depends on what kind of defect the product has. There are three different types of product defects that can lead to injury:
- Design Defects - Failure to design a safe product
- Manufacturing Defects - Failure to properly assemble or manufacture a product
- Marketing Defects - Failure to properly label or provide sufficient warnings or instructions for a product
In product liability cases the following parties may be held liable for your injuries:
- Product manufacturers, assemblers, or contributors (companies who manufacture a portion of the product)
- The wholesaler (individual responsible for selling the product to stores)
- The retail store that provided you with the product
Missouri Product Liability Statute of Limitations
You have only five years in Missouri to file a claim for compensation from the time you discover your injury or should have become aware of it. While this may seem like a long time, putting a claim together can be a lengthy process, especially if outside specialists need to be consulted. Those representing the manufacturer of the product which injured you will also do everything they can to drag the process out to try and exceed the statute of limitations.
There is no time to waste when you or a loved one is injured. Get tough representation and recover the compensation you deserve.
