Products Liability

Have You Been the Victim of a Dangerous or Defective Product?

Every day across the country and even here in Tennessee, there are adults and children that may purchase or use a product that is dangerous because it may cause medical or other health problems due to some product defect. The product may be defective in its design or manufacture. If you or someone you love has fallen victim to a dangerous or defective product, contact our experienced Tennessee Products Liability Attorneys at The Higgins Firm. We are ready to fight for your case.

What is Products Liability Law?

Products liability law compensates victims injured by dangerous and defective products. Products liability law ensures that the parties responsible for causing damage are also responsible for the high costs of injuries resulting from defective products. Designers, manufacturers, and even suppliers of defective products can be required to pay for the injuries to consumers as a result of the defects or hazards in the product. The Higgins Firm lawyers represent Tennessee victims harmed by defective products to earn our clients the awards they deserve from the corporations or manufacturers who sold or manufactured the unsafe products that resulted in a personal injury.

What are Some Products that may be Dangerous or Defective?

Products under Products Liability Law may include but are not limited to:

  • Defective Automobiles (i.e. faulty seatbelts, roof failures, tire failures)
  • Over the Counter drugs
  • Medical Devices
  • Children’s toys
  • Firearms
  • Construction Equipment
  • Food (i.e. peanut FDA recalls)
  • Toxic Chemicals (i.e. pesticides, asbestos, benzene and mold)
  • Automobiles and other motor vehicles (i.e. Trucks and motorcycles, ATVs)
  • Motor Vehicle Accessories (i.e. tires, seat belts, airbags and child car seats)
  • Household products and appliances
  • Machinery and tools that result in an accident or injury at home or on the job
  • Improper warning labels

What Our Clients Say

When my mother was neglected in a nursing home I was referred to The Higgins Firm for help. They did a great job representing my family and obtained a significant settlement. Hopefully, this will keep someone else's parent from being mistreated in the future. Angie S.
★★★★★
I have a large collection practice and don't handle personal injury cases. Instead of simply declining a case, I referred it to The Higgins Firm. They handled everything. My client got a large recovery and I got a large co-counsel fee. The client and I were both very happy. Attorney Bo Melton
★★★★★
The best injury lawyers in Nashville. They represented my son in a car accident case and did an awesome job. James D.
