Product Liability
At Matzus Law, we understand the profound impact that defective products can have on individuals and their families. When manufacturers, distributors, or retailers put profits over safety, the consequences can be severe, leading to injuries, illnesses, or even death. Our dedicated team of attorneys is committed to holding these entities accountable and securing the compensation our clients deserve. We are here to provide expert legal representation and support throughout the process of pursuing a defective product claim.
Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers responsible for putting defective products into the hands of consumers. These defects can occur at any stage of the product’s design, manufacturing, or distribution. Defective products can include anything from household items and toys to automobiles and pharmaceuticals. The primary legal theories in defective product cases are design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn (marketing defects).
At Matzus Law, we approach each defective product case with a meticulous and strategic plan. Our process involves:
We gather all relevant evidence, including product designs, manufacturing records, safety reports, and expert testimonies.
We work with engineers, medical professionals, and industry experts to analyze the defect and its impact on the victim.
We prioritize our clients’ needs, keeping them informed and involved throughout the legal process.
We are dedicated to fighting for our clients’ rights, whether through negotiation, settlement, or trial.

Defective products can arise in various contexts. At Matzus Law, we specialize in the following sub-areas of practice:
Automobile defects can lead to serious accidents and injuries. Examples include:
Flaws in the vehicle’s design that make it inherently unsafe, such as stability issues leading to rollovers.
Errors during the manufacturing process, such as faulty brakes, airbags, or seat belts.
Lack of proper warnings or instructions regarding the vehicle’s use and maintenance.
Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling defective automobile cases, ensuring that negligent manufacturers are held accountable.
Pharmaceutical defects can cause severe health issues or even death. Examples include:
Medications that have harmful side effects not adequately disclosed to consumers.
Faulty medical devices, such as pacemakers, hip implants, or surgical instruments.
Inadequate warnings about potential risks and side effects of medications or medical devices.
Matzus Law is skilled in navigating the complexities of pharmaceutical litigation, working to secure justice and compensation for affected individuals.
Consumer product defects can lead to injuries or fatalities. Examples include:
Defective electrical appliances that can cause fires or electric shocks.
Toys with small parts that pose choking hazards or toxic materials.
Devices that overheat, explode, or cause burns.
Our attorneys are adept at holding manufacturers and retailers responsible for ensuring the safety of consumer products.
Defective industrial equipment can lead to workplace injuries and fatalities. Examples include:
Faulty machinery parts that cause accidents or malfunctions.
Defective safety gear, such as helmets or harnesses, that fail to protect workers.
Unsafe construction tools and equipment that lead to injuries.

Food and beverage defects can result in serious health issues. Examples include:
Food products contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or harmful chemicals.
Incorrect or misleading labels that fail to disclose allergens or other harmful ingredients.
Packaging that does not adequately protect the product from contamination.
Our attorneys are committed to ensuring that food and beverage manufacturers adhere to strict safety standards.
Recognizing defective products is crucial for preventing injuries and pursuing legal action. Common signs of defective products include:
Products that have been recalled by the manufacturer or regulatory agencies.
Reports from other consumers about similar issues with the product.
Physical flaws or malfunctions that affect the product’s performance.
If you suspect that a product is defective, it is essential to document the issue and seek legal advice. Contacting an experienced attorney at Matzus Law can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights.

“He’s Brilliant. Jason Matzus is a lawyer you thank God is on your side. He led my brother and I through one of the most painful times in our lives with great kindness. … at a time it was hard to trust. Jason, we trusted completely to represent our father. Jason’s intuition and command of voluminous details was immaculate. His direction impeccable. John Adams (founding father) stated, ‘Facts are stubborn things.’ Jason was able to take the facts and handle the absurd. He choreographed the case so it was piercingly true and definitive, and could no longer be manipulated. From the very beginning till the very end. Our father found Jason, and we could not have been prouder or more relieved to have been represented by him. Jason made sure that by the end of the case, people knew our father…not as an old man, but instead a vibrant, youthful, well-respected, uniquely-creative, and deeply, deeply loved man. Jason’s talent is beyond. He is outstanding. The Jaffe family is forever grateful for him.”
“I am so grateful for Matzus Law, LLC. Jason worked very hard for my children and me. When our world was turned upside down, Jason was caring and compassionate as he worked nonstop to help us through a very difficult time. Throughout my experience, Jason made sure I understood every detail and helped me make the best decisions for myself and my children. Once our fight began, Jason became a courtroom gladiator; fighting for me and my children. I will be forever grateful for all that Matzus Law has done for me. Jason and his legal team have given my children a legacy from their late dad, that they otherwise would not have.”
“I am so thankful that God directed us to Matzus Law after our car accident. We were told by one firm that our case was not worth what we owed in medical bills. We disagreed and so did Jason. He and his staff did an excellent job fighting for us! We highly recommend Matzus Law, LLC!”
“Jason Matzus is a wonderful attorney. I was very apprehensive of the process and Jason explained it very clearly and was there to guide me and answer questions…every step of the way. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable, but also down to earth. He was extremely patient, as I was very nervous throughout the process. He was calming and informed me of the next steps in the process. I am so glad that Jason was my attorney. I am pleased with the results of the case. I really believe he is the best.”
Helping each and every one of our clients with tenacious representation when they need a strong and passionate advocate.
