Harmed By Negligence? Postman Delivers

Consumers have the right to expect that the products they use are safe. But when companies cut corners in design, manufacturing, or marketing, those products can cause serious harm or even death. At Postman Law, we represent individuals and families injured by defective or dangerous products.

If you or a loved one suffered harm after using a consumer product, prescription drug, or medical device, our team is here to help you pursue justice and compensation.

What Is a Product Liability Lawsuit?

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to ensure that their products are reasonably safe for use. When a defective or dangerous product causes injury or death, the company responsible can be held liable in a civil lawsuit.

There are several ways a product can be defective:

  • Design Defect: The product’s design is inherently dangerous, even when used as intended
  • Manufacturing Defect: Something went wrong during production, making the product unsafe
  • Marketing Defect (Failure to Warn): The product lacked proper instructions or warnings about risks

At Postman Law, we investigate all possible sources of liability and build strong cases against the companies that failed to protect consumers.
