Products Liability FAQs
What Types of Potentially Harmful Products Lead to Lawsuits?
We use and interact with hundreds of different products on a daily basis at home, at work, in school, in parks and other public spaces. Some types of products that are commonly involved in product liability lawsuits include:
- Pharmaceutical Products
- Food Products / Containers
- Childcare Products / Children’s Toys
- We have experience litigating a variety of product liability cases, including manufacturing defects and design defects.
How is Liability Determined in a Product Liability Case?
It can be difficult for victims to determine who is responsible for their injuries without a thorough investigation. It may not immediately be clear whether a manufacturer, designer, or other party is responsible for the defect that caused your injury. Our Delaware product liability lawyers are experienced at gathering evidence and proving negligence in product defect cases so that the liable party can be clearly identified and held responsible for your injuries.
How Do I Find the Right Product Liability Lawyers in Delaware?
The right representation can help you secure the most favorable outcome in your case. Each law firm has a different guiding philosophy, and finding one that fits with your needs will make for the best experience. Set up an initial consultation with a law firm to learn more about its services and gauge how comfortable you are with the firm's attorneys. Here are a few things you should look for when considering Delaware product liability attorneys:
- Experience: Defective products are a specific niche of the law, and you'll want an attorney who has handled these types of cases in the past. Such attorneys will have the best understanding of the law and how to deal with the setbacks that come with any civil case. A high-quality law firm will be forthcoming about its past experience too, so make sure you check.
- Results: Has the law firm secured positive results for defective product cases in Delaware before? How recently? You'll want to know specifics, such as settlement amounts. While outcomes will vary from case to case, knowing that a lawyer has had some success will give you confidence in their skills and ability to fight on your behalf.
- Reputation: Look for a firm that's respected within the industry and has a long, established history of fighting for those who experienced product-caused personal injury in Delaware.
FiberCel Bone Graft Injury FAQs
What is FiberCel Fiber Viable Bone Matrix?
FiberCel is a fiber-based bone repair product made from human tissue and engineered to maintain characteristics of natural tissue. It is used in orthopedic or reconstructive bone grafting procedures in combination with autologous bone or other forms of allograft bone or alone as a bone graft.
Additionally, FiberCel provides handling properties that are critical for use as a bone void filler in various orthopedic and spinal procedures. FiberCel contains cancellous bone particles with preserved living cells and demineralized cortical bone fibers to facilitate bone repair and healing.
FiberCel and Tuberculosis - Post-surgery infection risks?
The typical method of contracting tuberculosis is to breathe in the bacteria called "Mycobacterium tuberculosis." However, in the case of patients with bone-graft and other orthopedic/reconstruction surgeries, their bodies may be more susceptible to infections of all kinds and the tuberculosis bacteria, if included in the lot of FiberCell bone grafts, could find a suitable host in which to proliferate.
FiberCell was used in my procedure - what should I do?
If you believe you received FiberCel as part of your (or a loved one's) medical treatment, such as a bone graft for orthopedic or reconstructive purposes, and have developed an infection or tuberculosis, call 302.655.2599 or fill out this form immediately.
