Dangerous and Defective Products
South Carolina Product Liability Attorneys
A manufacturer has an obligation to assure that its products are safe as designed, to maintain that integrity in manufacturing and distribution, and to warn end users of known or likely dangers from reasonable and foreseeable use.
The product liability lawyers of Parham, Smith & Dodson, LLC have represented clients throughout South Carolina who suffered substantial injury from unsafe products. We have the industry knowledge to legal skills to tackle the technically complex issues of product design, testing and manufacturing and demonstrate the manufacturer's liability to the satisfaction of an insurance carrier or a jury in trial.

Parham Smith & Dodson has secured verdicts and settlements in a range of product liability suits:
- Auto defects — faulty seatbelts, airbags or tires; SUVs prone to rollover because of defective design.
- Medical products — electrical, electronic or mechanical failure in cardiac rehabilitation chairs, implantable aids and other health care devices.
- Pharmaceuticals with dangerous side effects.
- Consumer products (power tools, ladders, appliances, toys) that lack safety guards, constitute a health hazard or fail in a way that causes falls, lacerations, explosions, burns, poisoning or other serious harm.
- Heavy equipment or industrial machinery — lack of safety mechanisms or failure of emergency controls.
A Team Approach to Winning Your Case
We assign a partner, associate attorney, paralegal and our in-house medical professional to every case. This experienced legal team researches similar problems with the same product, connects the injury to the product and determines which engineering, manufacturing or medical experts we may need to hire to demonstrate liability and substantiate your damages.
Product liability lawsuits are often afforded strict liability — it is time- and cost-prohibitive to prove the manufacturer's negligence in bringing a dangerous product to market. In most cases, it is only necessary to establish proof of a design defect, manufacturing defect or failure to warn that directly led to our client's injury.
Our lawyers are experienced in handling expert witness testimony and highly technical evidence, and translating it into a clear, convincing case for jurors who may be completely unfamiliar with the technology involved.
