Louisiana Product Liability Lawyer: Support After a Defective Product Injury

If you or someone you love was hurt by a defective product in Louisiana, you may feel overwhelmed. Medical bills, time away from work, and the stress of recovery can weigh heavily on your family. You do not have to face this on your own. The Louisiana personal injury attorneys at LJBLegal have the experience and compassion to guide you through the process and pursue the recovery you deserve.

What Is the Louisiana Products Liability Act (LPLA)?

Louisiana has its own product liability law, called the Louisiana Products Liability Act. This law sets out when a manufacturer can be held responsible for harm caused by their products. Because this law is unique to Louisiana, you need a team that understands how it works and how local courts apply it.

What makes a product defective?

• Design defect. The way the product was designed made it unsafe even if built correctly.
• Manufacturing defect. Mistakes during production made the product dangerous.
• Failure to warn. The product did not include clear warnings or instructions about risks.
• Breach of warranty. The product failed to live up to specific promises or claims made by the manufacturer.

What Products Are Often Defective?

Defects can appear in many types of products. Some of the most common include:

• Medical devices and medications. Faulty implants, recalled pacemakers, contaminated drugs.
• Children’s products. Toys with choking hazards, unsafe furniture, or toxic materials.
• Automotive parts. Defective airbags, brakes, or steering systems that cause crashes.
• Industrial equipment. Unsafe tools and machinery that lead to serious workplace injuries.
• Household items. Faulty appliances, furniture that collapses, or unsafe cleaning products.

Everyday products can be dangerous too

Not every defective product is complex. Items we use daily can also cause harm. Examples include:

• Heated blankets or space heaters that spark fires
• Water heaters with faulty valves
• Window blinds with unsafe cords
• Mattresses or bedding that do not meet safety standards
• Candles with toxic materials or unstable bases
• Electronics that overheat or catch fire

What Compensation Can You Recover?

When a defective product causes injury, the law allows you to seek compensation. This may include:

• Medical costs. Hospital visits, surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
• Lost income. Wages you missed and reduced ability to work in the future.
• Pain and suffering. The physical pain and emotional toll of your injuries.
• Loss of enjoyment of life. The activities you can no longer do or enjoy.
• Loss of companionship. The impact your injuries have on your spouse and family.

What Should You Do After a Defective Product Injury?

Taking the right steps can strengthen your case and protect your rights:

• Keep the product. Save the item, packaging, and instructions.
• See a doctor. Get treatment right away and follow medical advice.
• Document evidence. Take photos of the product, your injuries, and where the incident happened.
• Report the issue. Notify the manufacturer or retailer and keep records of your communication.
• Call LJBLegal. The sooner you contact our team, the sooner we can protect evidence and begin helping you.

How much time do you have?

In Louisiana, you usually have only two years from the date of the injury or the date you discovered the defect to file a lawsuit. But you must begin building your claim and collecting evidence long before that. Waiting too long could prevent you from recovering anything. Talking to a defective product lawyer at LJBLegal quickly helps protect your case.
