When a Product Fails, Lives Change — We Make Sure Someone Answers for That
Product liability law allows people injured by defective or dangerous products to seek compensation from the companies responsible for placing those products on the market. Unlike many personal injury cases, product liability claims can be brought against multiple parties in the supply chain.
These cases are complex. Manufacturers have large legal teams, corporate resources, and expert witnesses devoted to defending their products. Jonathan Sapp knows how to level that playing field — through thorough investigation, expert analysis, and aggressive litigation.
If you or a family member has been seriously injured by a product you believe was defective or dangerous, contact us today. We'll evaluate your claim for free and tell you honestly what your options are.
Who Can Be Held Liable
Manufacturer
The company that designed and made the product bears primary responsibility for defects in design or construction.
Distributor
Companies that transport and distribute defective products may share liability if they had knowledge of the defect.
Retailer
Stores that sell defective products to consumers can be held responsible, even if they didn't create the defect.
Parts Supplier
Manufacturers of individual components that fail may be separately liable for defects in their specific parts.
Three Types of Product Defects
Alabama product liability law recognizes three distinct types of defects that can give rise to a claim.
Type 01
Design Defect
The product's design itself is inherently unsafe, meaning every unit manufactured according to the design poses an unreasonable risk of harm — even when built perfectly. A safer alternative design was available.
Type 02
Manufacturing Defect
The design was safe, but something went wrong during the manufacturing process — faulty materials, poor quality control, or a production error — causing a specific unit or batch to be dangerous.
Type 03
Failure to Warn
The product carried hidden risks that the manufacturer knew about but failed to adequately disclose through warnings, labels, or instructions. Consumers couldn't protect themselves from a danger they didn't know existed.
Types of Products We Handle
Dangerous products exist across nearly every category of consumer goods. We pursue claims involving all types of defective products.
Motor Vehicles & Auto Parts
Defective brakes, airbags, tires, seatbelts, and vehicle software that cause crashes or worsen injuries.
Medical Devices
Faulty implants, surgical equipment, diagnostic devices, and other medical products that harm patients.
Pharmaceuticals
Medications with dangerous side effects, improper dosing instructions, or inadequate warnings about known risks.
Industrial & Power Equipment
Power tools, industrial machinery, and equipment without proper safety guards or with dangerous design flaws.
Children's Products
Toys, car seats, furniture, and other children's items with hidden hazards, choking risks, or structural failures.
Appliances & Electronics
Household appliances and electronic devices prone to fires, electrocution, or explosions due to design flaws.
