Product Liability

Common Defective Products

At the Law Offices of Wilkerson, Jones & Wilkerson, our South Carolina product liability lawyers have extensive experience representing consumers who have been injured by defective products such as:

• Car parts – Defective car parts can cause catastrophic injuries and even death. Examples of defective auto parts include faulty tires, airbags, seat belts, and steering mechanisms.
• Traffic signs – Traffic signs are vital to our roadways, however when they aren’t installed properly or maintained, they can cause serious and fatal car accidents.
• Gasoline cans – Gasoline can manufacturers occasionally leave out a key screen that prevents explosions.
• Medical devices – Medical devices that are faulty can cause horrific illnesses and injury, as well as numerous fatalities. Faulty hip implants, IUDs, pacemakers, and insulin pumps are all examples of medical devices that could be manufactured defectively.
• Construction and lawn equipment – Defective lawnmowers, power tools, forklifts, and construction equipment can all lead to serious injuries both at home and on the job. If your injury occurred at work, you may even be eligible to file a third party workers’ compensation claim.
• Baby Products and Child Toys – Toys and baby products that are manufactured incorrectly or that fail to adequately warn parents of the dangers can cause significant harm to young children. Defective toys have caused choking injuries, strangulation, crushing injuries, and serious lacerations.
