Product Liability Injury Lawyers
While premises liability law holds property or business owners responsible for providing a safe and secure property, product liability refers to the duty of manufacturers to provide safe products to consumers. Yet, when products contain a type of defect or flaw in their design, they are considered a hazard to consumers. From a playground swing with a broken chain to a faulty electric blanket that causes electrocution when on a high setting, there are a number of product defects that pose a risk to unsuspecting consumers. South Carolina law recognizes any defective product as a product liability.
In essence, there are three types of product liability claims:
- Manufacturing defects – when there is an error during the process of making or assembling a product, this is a considered a manufacturing defect that changes the usefulness and safety of the product. Suppose an assembly line employee accidentally places too much of an ingredient into a batch of cough syrup. Because the batch of cough syrup is contaminated, it becomes a liability for anyone that may drink it, because they might become ill.
- Design defects or flaws – affecting an entire product line, a design defect or flaw is an error at the very beginning stages of a product’s existence. An example is a faulty ignition switch on a car that overheats and catches the car on fire or a poorly designed surgical hip implant that causes pain.
- Inadequate warning – when manufacturers are aware of potentially hazardous products, they must provide this information to consumers by posting a label or a shock warning sign, such as the ones seen on some electrical products.
Perhaps you or someone you know has been put in the line of fire after purchasing a product containing a manufacturing defect or design flaw. In turn, maybe you’ve taken a medication that didn’t have the proper warning label attached to it, and it made you sick.

Hope MishlanLove this firm and would use again if I needed representation in the future
Jose Humberto Solís JiménezIs the best atornyes ,thanks for help me
Faith CenobioThey really took care of me when I was hurt on the job and recovering from my injury.
James JerrelsI feel very blessed to have found CFJ attorneys. From the first meeting and throughout the entire process I felt important to them. Lisa was very attentive with her dedication and communication with me. Not only would I use them in the future. I will highly recommend them to everyone I know.
Jaimie CatoeCFJ Injury Lawyers and their team are great! Cathy and Lisa are who I spoke with the most. They took care of me and were so understanding of my crazy work schedule and took that into consideration when contacting me! I couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my case.
Debbie KelcyMy husband and I have used Wern Law for over 25 years. So when we needed an attorney in 2018 we did not hesitate. Catherine has always handled our cases, and since the firm has "changed hands" from Richard to Catherine, she has gotten a few new associates in the group and hasn't missed a beat. If we ever need to have representation again, this is the only law firm we will use. If you need an attorney for other issues that they do not specialize in, rest assured they will give you excellent advice and good direction. I won't go on blast for the dirty underhanded attorneys and the likes who played games with clients as well as Richard and Catherine. So, if you happen to run across one of them that bad mouth CFI or their staff, run... CFI is very fair and ALWAYS have your best interest at heart. This firm are not ambulance chasers. They rely on word of mouth for advertising.
Rodney MandervilleRichard and his firm/Family have "Always" been there for me and my family as well as those I've referred to his Council. Through good times as well as tough times for literally 20 years. He has always delivered and even more so has become a Great Friend. The information may not always be what you desire to hear but you can be assured that they will be professional and tactful they insure that you are never caught off guard and, that you are thoroughly prepared and informed for any and all matters that may arise throughout your case. In a word "OUTSTANDING"!
Tiffany MillerVery professional staff, knows everyone's name no matter if you've been there only once! You get more than just an attorney; you get a support system and a friend (the type of friend if you're down in the trenches, he's there with you strategizing a way out). You really know that Richard is handling your case as best he can without question. I have used several different law firms in the past and I would recommend this law firm, seeing first-hand the length he goes to for his clients. He also has spanish speaking staff, I would highly recommend Nicole!!!
Larry ConnerI met Richard through my daughter. I fell 8 feet in February 2011 and broke the L2 vertebra in my back!! Over a period of two years, I realized I was going to need help. I came to meet with Richard to talk about my accident. It was the best thing I ever did! My case went on for a little over 3 years and I am very pleased with the outcome Richard helped me obtain. He is an excellent attorney!
