Product Liability Lawyer Georgia | Georgia Injury Attorneys
Georgia's product liability law (O.C.G.A. § 51-1-11) imposes strict liability on manufacturers of defective products. The three core theories are design defect, manufacturing defect, and failure-to-warn. These cases are document- and expert-intensive — but the damages can be substantial because the responsible parties are often well-insured corporations rather than individual drivers.
Insurance companies make money by paying claimants as little as possible. Their adjusters are friendly, sympathetic — and trained. Every recorded statement, every quick settlement offer, every authorization form is designed to limit what they pay you. Our Georgia product liability attorneys exist to flip that dynamic. We do the negotiating. We document the damages. We file suit when needed.
Most importantly: we get paid only if you do. Our contingency fee means there's no risk in calling — and every reason not to wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses move, deadlines pass. The sooner we're involved, the stronger your case.
What to do after a product liability incident
The first 24-72 hours after an incident shape the strength of your eventual case. Here's what we tell every Georgia client to do:
- 1
Preserve the product in its post-incident condition
Do not alter, repair, or discard it.
- 2
Save all packaging, manuals, and instructions
Failure-to-warn claims live or die on warnings provided.
- 3
Get medical care and document injuries thoroughly
Photographs of injuries are essential evidence.
- 4
Locate the receipt or purchase records
Helps establish chain of distribution.
- 5
Consult a Georgia product liability attorney
These cases require significant expert investment from the start.
Even doing all of the above, you may still need an attorney to negotiate fairly with the insurance company. Adjusters know that unrepresented claimants accept smaller settlements — significantly smaller, on average. Hiring counsel changes the math.
