Have You Been Injured by a Product You Purchased?
Or scared when a child’s toy inexplicably broke at the worst possible moment – or discovered that the pain medication you take regularly is wildly unsafe? When you purchase products, you expect them to help you…or at least refrain from causing you harm. As it turns out, Colorado State Law is on your side. Manufacturers (and sellers, and distributors) have a legal responsibility to ensure their products meet agreed-upon safety standards.
Of course, manufacturers don’t always follow the rules.
When you or a loved one gets injured by a product defect, the responsible party should foot the bills – not you. Being a victim of product defects can be expensive: Depending on your injuries and property damage, you could face hundreds of thousands of dollars in unplanned costs. Yet the compensation you can work towards can be considerable. In 2020, the national average award in product liability cases was over $7M. The defective product attorneys at Jordan Law can help you determine who is liable for the defective product and file a strategic claim to get the compensation you deserve.

How can Jordan Law Help?
In addition to providing assistance with the immediate tasks following your incident, Jordan Law can help you navigate the longer-term complexities of filing your claim and pursuing fair compensation.
These may include:
- Investigating the product in question and learning about its potential for defects
- Gathering evidence (including witness testimony) about your incident
- Helping you determine who is responsible for the defective product
- Determining the extent of the damages you are due
- Negotiating with insurers and other involved parties to work towards a fair resolution
- Filing legal documents or even lawsuits, as needed, to get you what you deserve
- Preparing for and representing you in court, as needed
- Keeping you updated throughout this entire process!
Two of the bigger question marks involved in a product liability claim surround liability and the extent of the related damages.
Jordan Law can help you work towards answers to both of these questions. Then, they can support you as you leverage what you learn to bolster your product liability claim.
Who Is Liable in a Product Liability Claim?
Depending on the specifics of your case, any of several parties could be liable for your potentially-defective product.
These parties include:
- The manufacturer – if you can demonstrate that the product had a defect that was present when the product left the factory
- The designer – if you can demonstrate that the product was defective or dangerous due to an inherent design flaw
- The retailer (or distributor, or wholesaler) – if you can demonstrate that the product was defective at the time of sale, the entities involved in that sale can be liable
- The servicer – if your product was repaired or serviced and was or became dangerous after the fact, that could result in a liability claim, too.
You may also be able to hold multiple parties responsible, or even people not on this list.
Your product liability law firm should have years of experience with these claims to leverage, and can be able to help you determine who may be responsible for your damages.
What Types of Damages Are Available in a Product Liability Lawsuit?
Jordan Law can also help you determine the extent of your damages – and the value of your lawsuit or claim.
Some of the damages that may be available to you include:
- Economic Damages, or any incident-related damages that have specific dollar values attached. These damages include medical expenses, lost wages, and necessary property repairs.
- Non-Economic Damages, or any incident-related damages with no dollar values attached. These damages are equally important but can prove challenging when determining associated costs. Examples of these damages include pain and suffering, as well as loss of enjoyment of life or even loss of consortium
You may be surprised at what’s available to you, which is why working with a seasoned defective product attorney is critical.
“If the insurance carriers don’t know who you are, they’re going to look into you. And you’ve never tried a case, do you think they’re scared of that person trying the case and knocking it out of the park? But when we come across their desk, they know they’re up against good trial lawyers. They know we try cases regularly and hit big verdicts.” –JASON JORDAN
How Can You Prove a Product Is Defective?
Establishing that a product actually is defective requires years of experience in this field, detailed knowledge of product standards, and as much evidence as you can possibly gather.
Jordan Law may assist with:
- Establishing whether the product itself was dangerous
- Determining the type of defect that the product exhibited
- Showing when the defect was introduced within the product
- Demonstrating who was responsible for the defect
- Uncovering evidence to strengthen your case
- Proving that you were using the product reasonably before the incident
- Connecting any injuries you have experienced to the product and its defect
