Why You Need a Product Liability Lawyer After Being Injured
The aftermath of a product-related injury can turn your life upside down in an instant. Medical bills pile up, corporations and their insurance companies pressure you to accept lowball offers or deny responsibility entirely, and you’re left wondering how a product you trusted could have hurt you. This is when having an experienced product liability lawyer becomes crucial.

Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Product liability cases are among the most complex in personal injury law. Unlike car accidents where fault is often straightforward, product liability claims require proving that a product was defectively designed, manufactured improperly, or sold without adequate warnings. You’ll need to demonstrate that the defect directly caused your injuries and that you were using the product as intended. These cases often involve multiple defendants—manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and component suppliers—each pointing fingers at the others. Without proper legal representation, you’re facing teams of corporate lawyers whose sole job is protecting their company’s bottom line.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Major manufacturers have legal departments specifically designed to minimize liability and protect corporate profits. They’ll hire expert witnesses to dispute your claims, argue that you misused the product, or claim your injuries came from something else entirely. At Keller & Keller, we’ve seen every defense tactic in the corporate playbook. Our product liability lawyers have decades of experience dealing with major corporations and their insurance carriers, and we know exactly how to counter their strategies to protect your interests.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
Time is critical after a product-related injury. Each state has strict deadlines—known as statutes of limitations—for filing product liability claims. In Indiana, Michigan, and New Mexico (the states we serve), these deadlines typically range from two to four years depending on the type of claim and when you discovered the defect caused your injury. Missing these deadlines means forfeiting your right to compensation permanently. Our product liability lawyers ensure all paperwork is filed correctly and on time, preserving your right to seek the justice and compensation you deserve.

The Hard Truth
Product Liability Statistics That Demand Action
When we talk about defective products, we’re addressing a crisis that affects millions of American consumers every year. As your advocates in the fight for justice, Keller & Keller believes you deserve to know the sobering facts behind our mission.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were an estimated 50,900 deaths in 2019 from injuries related to consumer products. These aren’t just numbers—they represent families devastated by products they trusted. From exploding electronics to defective medical devices to faulty vehicle parts, defective products turn everyday activities into life-threatening situations.
This is a 25% increase from the previous year and the highest level in over a decade. Class I recalls (the most serious type that could cause serious injury or death) accounted for 114 of these cases. Despite these alarming numbers, countless victims never receive fair compensation because they don’t understand their rights or face intimidation from corporate legal teams.
Between 1991 and 2021, pharmaceutical manufacturers paid $62.3 billion in settlements and legal judgments across 482 cases for violations, including off-label promotion, kickbacks to physicians, and failure to disclose safety data. Despite these massive penalties, corporations continue prioritizing profits over safety, making experienced product liability lawyers essential for holding them accountable.
