How Rob Levine Law Protects Defective Product Injury Victims
Product liability cases often involve complex legal and technical issues. Determining exactly how a product failed and who is responsible requires detailed investigations. Liability can extend beyond the manufacturer to distributors, retailers, or other parties in the supply chain.
Our experienced defective products lawyers understand these challenges and bring an aggressive, focused approach to every case. We provide personalized attention to understand your unique situation and tailor a legal strategy that fits your needs.
While product liability cases can be uniquely complex, our firm’s extensive experience in personal injury law has helped thousands of clients recover compensation for a wide range of injuries. Though not all case results involve defective products, these successes reflect the dedication and skill we bring to every claim we handle.
Here is an example of a case where Rob Levine Law fought for clients and secured meaningful compensation:
$90,000
- Scooter Accident
Client was riding their motorized scooter at night, and was hit by a car. The insurance companies argued about liability as our client did not have lights on their scooter. The insurance company was forced to pay 90% of the policy out as they accepted 90% responsibility for this case. The client did suffer broken bones and needed months of rehab.
Attorney on Case
We also believe in making legal help accessible. Whether you prefer remote meetings, in-office visits, or need us to travel to meet you, we accommodate your needs. Our fees are straightforward: we charge one-third of any recovery for personal injury cases, including defective product claims. First responders receive a 25 percent discount, honoring their service.
What Is a Defective Product Lawsuit?
A defective product lawsuit is filed when someone is injured by a product that is unsafe due to design flaws, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings. These lawsuits hold manufacturers, distributors, and sellers responsible for the harm caused, aiming to secure compensation for victims.
Many defective product cases involve product recalls, which happen when companies remove dangerous products from the market after discovering safety risks. For example, the recent Banana Boat Sunscreen recall involved several batches of sunscreen found to contain benzene, a carcinogen linked to cancer. Consumers were warned to stop using the product immediately. If you were injured by this sunscreen without knowing about the recall, you may have a valid claim. Rob Levine Law can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation.
Bicycle recalls also highlight serious product defects. Faulty parts like brakes or frames can cause severe accidents. While manufacturers typically ask owners to return recalled bikes for repair, delays or inadequate fixes can leave riders exposed to danger. If you or a loved one were injured due to a recalled bicycle anywhere in New England, Rob Levine Law is ready to advocate for your justice.
Handling defective product lawsuits requires expert knowledge of product liability laws and regulations. Our experienced attorneys guide you through the process, from gathering evidence to negotiating with manufacturers and insurers, helping you seek fair compensation with less stress.
Types of Defective Products We Handle
At Rob Levine Law, we have extensive experience handling a broad spectrum of product liability claims. Defective products can take many forms, and no matter the type, we bring the expertise and resources necessary to thoroughly investigate your case and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Some of the most common types of defective products we represent clients for include:
Medical Devices and Implants
These products are designed to improve or save lives, but can cause serious harm if they malfunction. Defects in pacemakers, hip replacements, surgical mesh, or implantable devices can lead to severe injury, revision surgeries, or chronic pain.
Household Appliances and Tools
From kitchen appliances to power tools, faulty design or manufacturing can cause fires, electrocution, or other injuries. We handle claims involving defective washers, dryers, heaters, lawn equipment, and more.
Vehicles and Auto Parts
Defects in cars, trucks, motorcycles, or their components—such as airbags, brakes, tires, or fuel systems—can result in crashes and catastrophic injuries. We help clients pursue claims against manufacturers and part suppliers.
Children’s Toys and Equipment
Defects in toys, cribs, car seats, or strollers pose unique dangers to children. Our team advocates strongly for families harmed by unsafe children’s products, often involving recalls or design flaws.
Industrial Machinery and Equipment
Workplace injuries caused by defective machinery, safety guard failures, or malfunctioning equipment require specialized knowledge. We represent workers injured on the job due to faulty industrial products.
No matter the product or defect, our firm is dedicated to thoroughly investigating your claim. We collaborate with experts to identify the cause of the failure and gather the evidence needed to build a strong case. You can trust Rob Levine Law to stand with you every step of the way.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To in Defective Product Cases
Defective product claims often involve significant costs and complex legal challenges. In 2023, insurers’ defense expenses in these cases made up over 40% of incurred losses. Jury awards can be substantial, with median verdicts reaching nearly $4 million and average awards exceeding $7 million nationwide. These numbers highlight the seriousness of defective product lawsuits and why experienced legal representation is crucial.
If you’ve been injured by a defective product, you may be eligible for compensation that covers:
- Medical bills, including future treatment and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity if your injury affects your ability to work
- Pain and suffering caused by your injuries
- Emotional distress related to the accident and recovery
- Property damage resulting from the defective product
At Rob Levine Law, we carefully evaluate every aspect of your losses and work hard to secure the full compensation you deserve. Our team has the expertise to navigate the complexities of these cases and advocate fiercely on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I suspect a product caused my injury?
If you believe a product caused your injury, acting quickly can protect your health and your legal rights. Take these important steps right away:
- Seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor
- Preserve the product and keep all packaging or instructions
- Take photos of the product, your injuries, and the accident scene
- Keep records of all medical treatments and expenses
- Avoid discussing the case with the manufacturer or insurance companies without a lawyer
- Contact a defective products lawyer promptly to evaluate your claim and guide you through the process
How long do I have to file a defective product claim?
In New England states like Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, deadlines typically range from two to three years from the date of injury or from when the defect was discovered or should have been discovered. Missing these deadlines can prevent you from pursuing compensation. Because these rules can be complex and vary by case, it’s crucial to contact Rob Levine Law as soon as possible. We’ll help you understand the applicable deadlines and ensure your claim is filed on time to protect your rights.
Can I file a claim if I misused the product?
Some claims remain valid despite misuse, depending on circumstances. We carefully assess every case to protect your interests.
How do I prove that the product was defective?
Proving a product defect involves showing that the product was unsafe and directly caused your injury. This often requires thorough investigation and expert analysis. Key steps include:
- Gathering and preserving the defective product and packaging
- Documenting the injury and accident circumstances
- Consulting with technical experts (engineers, medical professionals) to identify design, manufacturing, or warning defects
- Collecting records such as purchase receipts, maintenance logs, and communications with the manufacturer
- Demonstrating that the defect existed when the product left the manufacturer’s control
What if the defective product was sold by a third party or retailer?
Liability can extend beyond the manufacturer to include distributors, retailers, or sellers who put the product into the stream of commerce. Important considerations include:
- Establishing the chain of distribution to identify all responsible parties
- Holding sellers accountable if they knowingly sold a defective or recalled product
- Investigating whether the retailer failed to provide proper warnings or instructions
- Pursuing claims against all parties legally responsible for your injury
- Consulting with an experienced attorney to navigate these complex liability issues
