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.
