3 Key Facts You Should Know About Defective Product Lawsuits (And What Jinks Crow, PC Is Doing About It)

Every day, consumers use products assuming they’re safe, from medical implants to everyday appliances. Unfortunately, defective products injure thousands of people each year. At Jinks Crow, PC, we fight to hold manufacturers accountable when their negligence causes harm.

Here are the top three facts people search when considering a defective product lawsuit, along with how our firm is currently helping clients nationwide.

1. You Don’t Have to Prove Negligence – Strict Liability Applies

Most people don’t realize that when it comes to product liability, the law often works in their favor. Thanks to the principle of strict liability, a manufacturer can be held responsible if:

• The product was defective in design, manufacture, or labeling

• You were using it as intended

• The defect caused your injury

That means you don’t have to prove the company meant to cause harm — only that the product was unreasonably dangerous.

2. Medical Devices Are Among the Most Dangerous Products

Some of the most dangerous and high-profile defective product cases involve medical devices — items people rely on to improve or save their lives. Jinks Crow, PC is currently representing clients in several major mass tort and multidistrict litigation (MDL) cases involving:

• BioZorb® – a surgical marker implant linked to chronic pain and complications

• Bard PowerPort™ – a catheter port associated with device fracturing and bloodstream infections

• Medtronic devices – including implants and surgical tools linked to severe injury

We’ve worked with clients across the country who’ve suffered life-altering consequences due to these devices.

3. A Product Doesn't Have to Be Recalled for You to Have a Case

One of the most common misconceptions is that you can only sue over a recalled product. The truth is: recalls are not required to pursue a defective product lawsuit.

Many companies don’t issue recalls until long after consumers have already been harmed. If you’ve suffered injuries from a device, appliance, or product that malfunctioned or failed, you may still be entitled to compensation — even if it’s still on the market.
