Product Liability Attorney in Columbia, Illinois

If you have been injured following the use of a product that was defective, you may be entitled to monetary damages from the manufacturer and/or seller. A product may be defective because of a design or manufacturing defect or a lack of warnings.

Columbia lawyer Stephen C. Buser has more than 30 years of experience and a successful track record representing victims of product injuries in Southern Illinois and Missouri. He handles all types of product injury cases, including injuries caused by:

• Automobile defects, including defective brakes, airbags, seat belts, door locks, gasoline tanks, and tires

• Food or drug products

• Propane tanks

• Electric heaters

• Defective machinery

• Agricultural products, including farm chemicals and equipment

• Defective power tools such as grinders and saws

• Unsafe toys

• Defective child car seats

• Recreational products

In a product injury case, it is important to maintain the product and keep it in the same condition it was at the time of the accident. Do not attempt to repair the product or throw broken parts away. Testing of the product by a trained expert is essential in such cases. There are statutes of limitations in every state that require a defective product lawsuit to be filed within a certain period of time. It’s important to provide your attorney with enough time to find out if there are other injury cases involving the same product. Your lawyer also needs to consult with product safety experts who can examine the product and testify in your case.
