The Law Office of Derzon & Menard
Milwaukee Products Liability Lawyers

Turning on an appliance or using a step ladder shouldn't result in a trip to the emergency room or damage to your home. At Derzon & Menard, our attorneys hold manufacturers liable for injuries caused by unsafe and defective products. Regulated by state and federal law, products must comply with certain safety regulations intended to protect the consumer. When improper labeling, malfunctioning parts, or design flaws result in injuries or death, manufacturers can be held legally liable for any injuries that occur as a result. At Derzon & Menard, our personal injury attorneys conduct a thorough, careful investigation of product failure, consult industry experts in design and manufacturing, and present evidence to support your case.

Establishing Products Liability Cases

Successful products liability cases require evidence directly linking physical injuries to specific kinds of design flaws or failed components. Given the amount of due diligence undertaken by manufacturers to protect themselves against law suits, the burden of proof is placed on an injured person to prove the following:

1. The product failed or was defective.
2. The failure or defect in question resulted in injury.
3. No extenuating factors were involved that could explain away either number 1 or number 2.

Given the burden of proof placed on injury victims, it's essential to hire an attorney who has the experience and resources necessary to build a compelling case. At Derzon & Menard, we understand how to meet the burden of proof and establish a direct causal relationship between your injuries and a defective product.
