At Schaffer Herring PLLC, we represent individuals who have been seriously injured by dangerous, defective, or poorly labeled products. If you or a loved one was harmed by a consumer, industrial, or medical product, our attorneys can guide you through the process of product liability litigation in Tulsa and surrounding Oklahoma communities.
What Is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, or sellers when a product causes harm due to a defect or failure to warn. These cases often involve:
- Manufacturing defects – Something went wrong during production, making the item unsafe.
- Design defects – The product was dangerous as designed, even when properly made.
- Failure to warn or label – The manufacturer failed to provide adequate safety instructions or warnings.
Products commonly involved in litigation include:
- Consumer electronics and household appliances
- Industrial equipment and tools
- Motor vehicles and parts
- Prescription drugs or medical devices
- Children’s toys or furniture
If a product caused serious harm despite normal use, you may have a valid claim.
How We Handle Product Liability Litigation
Product liability cases require careful documentation, expert analysis, and knowledge of both Oklahoma law and federal safety standards. At Schaffer Herring PLLC, we take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach.
Preserving the defective product for inspection
Investigating recalls, consumer safety reports, and product history
Consulting engineering or safety experts
Identifying all responsible parties, including manufacturers and retailers
Calculating damages for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering
Our attorneys prepare every product liability claim as if it will go to trial, which ensures a stronger position in negotiations and full readiness if court becomes necessary.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Depending on the case, multiple parties in the supply chain may share responsibility. We regularly pursue claims against:
- Product manufacturers (domestic or foreign)
- Distributors or wholesalers
- Retailers that sold the defective product
- Third-party maintenance providers (in some machinery or vehicle cases)
Our goal is to hold every liable party accountable for the injury caused.
Damages You May Recover
Through product liability litigation, injured clients may recover:
- Emergency and long-term medical costs
- Lost wages or future earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Physical disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages (if applicable)
Because large corporations and insurers are often involved, you need experienced legal counsel to pursue full and fair compensation.
