Does a product have to be recalled for me to have a claim?

No. Many successful claims involve products that were never recalled, but a recall can be helpful evidence.

What if I was using the product wrong?

Reasonably foreseeable misuse may still be covered. Unforeseeable misuse or modification can weaken a claim.

What is a class action vs. an individual product claim?

Class actions group many people with similar, often smaller, losses. Serious personal injuries are usually handled as individual claims, sometimes coordinated in mass torts.

Can I sue the store that sold the product?

In many states, retailers can be held liable along with the manufacturer, though some states limit this.

What if the manufacturer is overseas?

Claims can often be brought against U.S. importers, distributors or retailers. A lawyer can identify who's reachable.
