Las Cruces Product Liability Lawyer

Representing Consumers Injured by Dangerous Products across New Mexico

At the Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz, we believe in doing things differently from most law firms. Did you know that personal injury law firms may charge between 33 1/3% and 50% of your settlement in contingency fees after your case is won? Imagine that you won $100,000 for an injury claim, only to find that you actually only got $67,000 or, worse yet, $50,000. Can you still even afford to recover comfortably at that point? Maybe not!
At the Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz, our personal injury attorney thinks the client who was injured should be the one who benefits the most from a winning claim. In order to keep things fair and keep our clients happy, we collect a contingency fee amount of just 25% when a case settles without a lawsuit being filed. The same $100,000 win mentioned before would equal a full $75,000 for our client,  in other words, when you pay less attorney fees, you get to keep more money in your pocket.  No Upfront Fees: We Only Get Paid If You Do!

Whether it’s a kitchen appliance, hygiene product, or even medication, you should reasonably expect that it’s safe to use. Unfortunately, many products can cause injury or illness due to defects with their design, manufacturing, or failure to warn consumers of possible dangers. If you were harmed by a dangerous product, you can fight to recover compensation for your damages.

The Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz can provide the legal support you need to hold companies responsible for dangerous products. We offer our clients personalized assistance that takes the details of their claims into account, forging a custom-tailored path toward the compensation they need. We believe companies that are responsible for consumers’ injuries and illnesses should be held to account for them, so rest assured that our product liability lawyer in Las Cruces can be the advocate you need.

How Do You Know If You Have a Product Liability Claim?

You may have a product liability claim if something you purchased caused injury or illness due to a design or manufacturing defect. You may also have a claim if you were harmed because a product failed to include safety warnings or sufficient instructions.

Design Defects

Products may be deemed dangerous due to design flaws that make their intended use dangerous to any consumer. For example, a space heater may have a dangerous design defect if it requires a consumer to touch a heated component to operate the device. Likewise, a piece of furniture could have a dangerous design defect if it’s unstable after proper assembly.

Manufacturing Defects

Sometimes a product’s design is sound, but the way it’s made makes it dangerous to use. Manufacturing defects can include improper assembly, improper materials, and other defects that present unreasonable risks to consumers.

For example, a chainsaw that’s missing an important safety switch or similar mechanism could have a crucial manufacturing defect. Likewise, a hygiene product may have one of its materials substituted during manufacturing for a cheaper or more abundant material that causes rashes or worse illnesses.

Failures to Warn

Products can be deemed dangerous to consumers even if they are properly developed and manufactured but fail to warn consumers of important safety risks. If an electronic device poses a shock hazard around water, the company responsible for the product should state this warning. Likewise, if a product contains materials that have known associations with cancer or other illnesses, products should also warn consumers of these risks.

What Should You Do If You Think You Have a Product Liability Claim?

If you believe you may have a claim, consult with an experienced product liability attorney in Las Cruces.

Protecting your recovery potential is essential, and it also requires you to not discuss your claim with anyone but your attorney. Avoid complaining about the product on social media or giving it a review online. Seek immediate medical treatment for your injuries or illnesses, but don’t contact the company responsible for the dangerous product and don’t engage with any representative who may reach out to you.
