Many people are injured by a variety of products on a daily basis. Generally, a product liability case will require significant injuries and damages to justify prosecuting a case. Product liability cases are not limited to only consumer products but also can include medical device liability. Knee replacement and other medical devices can qualify as a product liability case. Those cases most likely would involve a class action.
Product liability cases can also include other consumer products such as automobiles, household products such as stoves, gas cans and a multitude of other products. The most important thing to do if you believe you have a product that is subject to a product liability claim is to preserve the product in a location where it cannot be affected by any other outside element. The purpose of preserving the product in a climate controlled safe location is to prevent later claims that the product may have been altered. The next step is to contact a lawyer immediately to assist with the preservation of the product. Shortly after a product is preserved, testing and evaluating the product would be the most likely next step to determine if a product liability case has merit.

Remember that early preservation and security of the potential defective product is the key to bringing a product liability case.
