The settlement they secured exceeded my expectations, providing a sense of justice and closure.”

We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, giving us leverage in settlement negotiations with insurance companies. However, if fair compensation isn’t offered, our experienced Baltimore trial attorneys are always prepared to present your case to a Baltimore jury.

What Is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to a manufacturer or seller’s legal responsibility for placing a defective product in the hands of consumers. When these defective products cause injuries, affected individuals may pursue compensation through the legal system. Unfortunately, Maryland and the rest of the United States has record high product recalls in the last few years, with more than 580 million units recalled in the first nine months of 2024 alone.

There are three ways you, the injured consumer, must prove the manufacturer or seller is at fault for your injuries:

  • Strict liability, where a plaintiff doesn’t need to prove negligence but must show the product was defective and caused injury.
  • Negligence, which requires showing the defendant failed to exercise reasonable care.
  • Breach of warranty, which involves violations of express or implied product guarantees.

Innocent Baltimore consumers like you are being harmed by dangerous and defective products every day. When manufacturers put profits over people, we hold them accountable. Whether your case involves strict liability, negligence, or breach of warranty, our product liability team has the expertise to build your strongest possible claim for compensation.

Your recovery starts with one call. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation.

We don’t get paid unless you do.

Types of Defective Product Cases We Handle in Baltimore

Defective Design

Design defects occur when a product’s blueprint or concept is inherently dangerous, even when manufactured correctly. These products are fundamentally flawed from their inception. For example, a car model might have a tendency to roll over during normal turns due to its high center of gravity and narrow wheelbase.

In design defect cases, we work with engineering experts to demonstrate how alternative, safer designs were feasible, economical, and would have prevented your injuries.

Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects happen during the production process when a product deviates from its intended design. Unlike design defects that affect all products in a line, manufacturing defects typically impact a limited number of items.

Examples include contamination in medications, missing safety components in power tools, or improperly assembled vehicle parts. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate production records, quality control processes, and work with manufacturing experts to identify where the production went wrong.

Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects)

Even well-designed and properly manufactured products can be dangerous if they lack appropriate warnings or instructions. Manufacturers must warn consumers about non-obvious risks and provide clear instructions for safe use.

Common examples include medications without proper side effect warnings, chemicals without handling precautions, or equipment lacking operational safety instructions. Our team analyzes industry standards, regulatory requirements, and expert opinions to demonstrate when warnings were inadequate.

Common Dangerous Products That Lead to Injuries

Every year, countless Baltimore residents suffer injuries from products they assumed were safe, with these five categories being particularly dangerous:

  • Defective Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Drugs: Medical devices and medications that malfunction or cause unexpected side effects can lead to serious health complications. Recent examples include certain hip implants, transvaginal mesh, and blood pressure medications with carcinogenic contaminants.
  • Unsafe Household Appliances and Electronics: Everyday items in your home can pose serious risks when defective. Faulty wiring in appliances can cause fires, exploding batteries can cause burns, and malfunctioning safety mechanisms can lead to serious injuries.
  • Auto Defects: Vehicle defects can be catastrophic at highway speeds. From faulty ignition switches to defective airbags, tire blowouts, and brake failures, these manufacturing or design issues can cause serious accidents and injuries.
  • Hazardous Children’s Toys and Baby Products: Children are especially vulnerable to product defects. Choking hazards, toxic materials, unstable furniture, and malfunctioning safety features in car seats or strollers can lead to life-altering injuries or even death.
  • Contaminated Food and Consumer Goods: Foodborne illnesses from contaminated products can cause serious health problems. Similarly, consumer goods containing harmful chemicals or toxins can lead to long-term health issues.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Baltimore Product Liability Lawsuit?

If successful in your product liability claim, you may recover several types of damages in three different categories: economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages.

Economic damages are the financial losses you experience as a direct result of injuries caused by a defective product. They can be calculated with reasonable precision and are backed by documentation. Economic damages may include current and future medical expenses, lost wages, costs for emergency treatment, surgeries, medications, and ongoing medical care. In wrongful death cases, economic damages will cover funeral and burial costs, as well.

Non-economic damages address the personal impacts of your injuries that don’t come with receipts or invoices. While these losses don’t have direct financial costs, they represent significant harm to your quality of life and well-being after a defective product injury. They include pain and suffering, emotional distress, depression, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Finally, in cases where the manufacturer or seller demonstrated particularly reckless behavior or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Baltimore Product Liability Case?

Product liability law recognizes that multiple parties may share responsibility for defective products reaching consumers:

Manufacturers bear primary responsibility for product defects. This includes not only the final product manufacturer but also the makers of component parts.

Distributors and wholesalers serve as middlemen in the supply chain. Though they may not have created the defect, they can be held liable for distributing dangerous products.

Retailers and sellers who place defective products on store shelves or online marketplaces may also share liability, even if they weren’t aware of the defect.

Our attorneys investigate every step in the supply chain to identify all potentially responsible parties, maximizing your chances for full compensation.

How to Prove a Product Liability Claim in Baltimore, Maryland

Building a successful product liability case requires substantial evidence and expert testimony. You’ll generally need to establish:

  • The product was defective in design, manufacturing, or warnings.
  • The defect existed when the product left the defendant’s control.
  • The defect directly caused your injuries.
  • You were using the product as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way.

At Regan Zambri Long, we’ve assembled a powerful network of professional resources to strengthen your claim. When you work with one of our product liability attorneys, you’ll have access to forensic engineers, industry specialists, medical experts, and economic analysts who can help bolster your claim and secure a settlement in your favor.

What to Do If You've Been Injured by a Defective Product

If you’ve been injured by a potentially defective product, taking these important steps will help ensure your health and safety, but also help a future personal injury lawsuit:

  • Seek immediate medical attention and follow your doctor’s treatment plan. Your health comes first, and medical records will document your injuries.
  • Preserve the product in its current condition if possible. Don’t repair it, alter it, or return it to the manufacturer without consulting an attorney.
  • Keep all product packaging, instructions, receipts, and warranty information. These documents can help establish when and where you purchased the item.
  • Document your injuries with photographs, keep records of medical treatments, and track all expenses related to your injury.
  • Contact an experienced product liability attorney promptly. Maryland has a three-year statute of limitations for most product liability claims, so timely action is important.
