Experienced Product Liability Lawyers Serving North Charleston & Summerville, South Carolina
We rely on the products we buy to perform as advertised and without risk of injury. By the time a product reaches the market, we have the right to expect that all necessary safety and design testing has been completed. Sadly, many defective products make it into our homes and workplaces, and the consequences can be tragic.
If you have been injured by a defective product, it is important to have an experienced attorney who knows the law and will fight to protect your rights. We represent clients in a broad range of product liability cases. Mr. Wigger serves on two ASTM committees that set product standards nationwide and is a member of The Philo Foundation for products liability.
We have brought product liability cases involving amputations, bad product design, inadequate or missing warnings, and product failures. Other attorneys often ask us to assist based on our experience, and we fully investigate every aspect of your case to identify all responsible parties and seek maximum compensation.
Decades of combined experience handling complex product liability cases.
Product liability cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis — you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Our attorney serves on two ASTM standards committees and The Philo Foundation, focused on product safety.
When someone is injured in a car accident, we usually assume a negligent driver was to blame. In too many cases, however, an auto defect is the sole cause of the wreck or injury — and you may not know until the vehicle is closely inspected. We trust manufacturers to build vehicles that keep us safe no matter what happens; this is called crashworthiness. If you were injured because of a motor vehicle defect, we represent clients throughout South Carolina and around the country in all types of auto defect cases.
With every case, we have two goals: to ensure our clients are fully compensated for their injuries, and to make our communities safer by helping ensure no one else is harmed in the same way.
Product liability claims generally fall into three categories: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects (a failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions). A single case may involve more than one.
Preserve it. Do not repair, alter, or discard the product, and keep any packaging, manuals, and receipts. The product itself is usually the most important piece of evidence in the case.
Liability is not limited to the company whose name is on the box. Depending on the facts, the manufacturer, the maker of a defective component, the distributor, and the retailer may all share responsibility.
We handle these cases on a contingency-fee basis and advance the investigation and expert costs needed to build your case. You pay an attorney’s fee only if we obtain a recovery for you.
