If you or someone you love has been harmed by a defective product in Boston, it’s important to understand that you may have legal options. Whether it’s a dangerous drug, a faulty vehicle, a household appliance that caused injury, or any other product that malfunctioned or failed to warn, victims may be entitled to seek compensation for the damages they’ve suffered.

If a defective product has impacted your health, safety, or livelihood, a local Boston product liability lawyer in TopDog Law’s network can help you understand your rights and guide you toward the next steps in pursuing accountability and financial recovery.
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and others involved in the chain of commerce for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. These types of claims are based on the principle that companies have a duty to design, produce, and sell products that are safe when used as intended, or to provide adequate warnings if a product poses specific risks.
When this duty is breached and someone is injured as a result, product liability laws allow the injured person to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
Product liability claims typically fall into one or more of the following categories:
These occur when a product is inherently dangerous due to its design, even if it is manufactured correctly. For example, a power tool that lacks a safety guard or a children’s toy with small detachable parts that pose a choking hazard may fall into this category.
This type of defect happens during the production process and may affect only a specific batch or number of units. A common example might be a vehicle with a faulty airbag that fails to deploy during a crash.
Sometimes, products are sold without proper instructions or warnings about potential risks. A pharmaceutical drug without appropriate side effect warnings or an electric appliance that overheats without cautionary labeling may be grounds for a failure-to-warn claim.
Product liability can involve almost any type of consumer product. In Massachusetts and across the country, some of the most common types of defective product claims involve:
In Boston, local lawyers in TopDog Law’s network are familiar with both the federal product safety standards and Massachusetts-specific laws that apply to product liability claims.
Massachusetts product liability law generally follows the doctrine of strict liability, meaning that an injured person doesn’t have to prove that a company was negligent—only that the product was defective and caused injury when used as intended.
That said, successfully proving a product liability case often requires professional technical guidance, investigation, and thorough documentation. A local attorney can evaluate the specific facts of your case and determine the best legal path forward based on Massachusetts law.
Multiple parties may be legally responsible for a defective product, including:
Even if you were not the original purchaser of the product, you may still be eligible to file a claim if you were injured by it. A local product liability attorney can determine who in the product’s distribution chain should be held accountable for your injuries.
Victims of defective products may be eligible for various types of compensation depending on the nature and extent of the harm suffered. A local lawyer can help you pursue:
Massachusetts has a statute of limitations that limits the amount of time you have to file a product liability claim. Generally, you must file your lawsuit within three years from the date of injury, or from the date you discovered (or should have reasonably discovered) the injury was linked to the product.
Missing this deadline could mean losing the right to pursue compensation altogether. That’s why it’s so important to connect with a local attorney as soon as possible to evaluate your case and preserve critical evidence.
