Product Liability

If you have been injured or a loved one has been injured or killed by a dangerous or defective product, you may be able to file a product liability claim to receive compensation for your injuries. This means you are able to hold the manufacturer liable for selling you a defective or dangerous product. You may be able to recover against the manufacturer of the defective parts, an assembling manufacturer, or in certain cases the supplier that sold the product to you.

Our product liability attorneys at Shea & Associates have experience representing consumers injured by defective products, including automobile components such as seatbelts, tires, child car seats, faulty airplanes,  medical devises, household products and appliances. From our experience, we know that in order to be successful, it requires the testimony and assistance of expert witnesses. We will work hard with you and the expert witnesses to make sure you are represented fairly.

It is important in any product liability case to first prove the product is actually defective. This proof is based on its design, manufacturing and/or marketing. At Shea & Associates, we receive the help of our experts to determine the following:

• A design defect that existed before the product was manufactured
• A manufacturing defect that happened while the product was being produced
• A marketing defect that arose from improper instructions or failure to warn

Proving that a product is defective requires an attorney who knows how to effectively gather and organize the crucial information, and use experts who can prove a defect. At Shea & Associates, we have the resources and experience it takes. We are located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and represent clients in Southwest Ohio including Cincinnati, Dayton, Middletown and Hamilton (Hamilton, Butler, Montgomery, Clermont and Warren Counties) and Northern Kentucky, including Covington and Newport  (Kenton, Campbell and Boone Counties).
