product liability lawyers

Every year, thousands of people become seriously injured — some even die — as a result of using products that had design flaws, were manufactured improperly, or were poorly maintained. Often the makers or owners of these products are aware of the defects but fail to address the problems in a timely or effective way.

Manufacturers, distributors, and resellers have a responsibility to deliver products free from defect and to make good-faith efforts to assume that responsibility. When a company fails in its obligation to manufacture safe products to the consumer, people get hurt. When that happens in Evansville, victims need to retain the services of the product liability attorneys at Gerling Law.

If you have been injured by a defective product, a Gerling Law attorney can help. We have the experience and financial resources to take on big companies, level the playing field, and achieve justice for you.
People who have suffered injuries because of a defective product may be entitled to receive compensation for their medical costs, lost wages, and emotional distress.

We will thoroughly investigate your case to determine who is at fault and how the injuries could have been avoided. Our attorneys will also consider how the injuries will affect your future quality of life and the cost of any additional care that will be needed to ensure that the compensation received is fair and appropriate.
