Defective and dangerous products can cause serious injuries, long-term health problems, and even death. When companies fail to properly design, manufacture, or warn consumers about product risks, they can be held legally responsible through product liability claims.
Missouri law allows injured consumers to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering caused by defective products. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a dangerous consumer good, medical device, or household product, legal action can help you recover damages and hold negligent manufacturers accountable.
If you believe a defective product caused your injury, call TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers at (314) 789-1888 today for your free case evaluation.

It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
When companies sell defective, dangerous, or mislabeled products, consumers can suffer serious injuries, long-term health complications, or even death. Whether it’s a faulty medical device, a hazardous household product, or a dangerous prescription drug, manufacturers and retailers can be held accountable for the harm they cause.
Many victims assume that filing a lawsuit against a large corporation is impossible, but Missouri law allows injured consumers to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, these cases often involve corporate legal teams and aggressive insurance companies that try to limit payouts.
TopDog Law connects people with Missouri product liability lawyers who understand how to take on major manufacturers and retailers. A lawyer from TopDog Law’s network can help victims navigate the legal process, gather evidence, and fight for the compensation they deserve.
Product liability claims involve complex legal issues, as manufacturers and sellers often deny responsibility and try to shift the blame onto consumers. Without legal representation, injured individuals may struggle to prove their case and end up accepting lowball settlements from insurance companies.
A Missouri product liability lawyer from TopDog Law’s network can assist by:
Corporations have teams of attorneys working to protect their profits—having a Missouri product liability lawyer ensures that injured consumers have someone fighting for them.
A defective product injury can lead to serious medical conditions, permanent disabilities, and financial hardship. Injured consumers may be eligible for compensation, including:
Victims should not have to pay for corporate negligence. TopDog Law connects injured consumers with Missouri attorneys who can help them pursue full financial recovery.
Product liability claims cover a wide range of defective or dangerous products. Some of the most common cases involve:
Missouri law allows injured consumers to hold manufacturers accountable for these and other defective products.
A product liability claim typically falls into one of three categories:
Understanding the type of defect that caused an injury is critical in building a strong case against the manufacturer.
Multiple parties in the supply chain may be responsible for a defective product, including:
Liability may extend beyond the original manufacturer if others in the supply chain failed to inspect, test, or properly warn about product hazards.
To succeed in a product liability case, a plaintiff must provide evidence showing:
Product liability cases often require expert testimony, medical records, and product testing to establish fault.
Missouri follows the strict liability doctrine for many product liability cases, meaning that an injured consumer does not need to prove negligence—only that the product was defective and caused harm.
However, some claims may involve negligence-based liability, requiring proof that a company failed to meet its duty of care in designing, manufacturing, or labeling the product.
Key differences between strict liability and negligence:
An attorney can help determine which legal theory applies to a specific case.
Missouri law sets time limits for filing a product liability lawsuit:
Failing to file a claim within the statute of limitations can result in losing the right to seek compensation. Consulting a Missouri product liability lawyer as soon as possible helps ensure all legal deadlines are met.
Some product liability cases involve large numbers of victims, leading to class action lawsuits or mass tort claims.
Class Action Lawsuits:
Mass Tort Claims:
Determining whether to join a class action, mass tort, or file an individual claim depends on the details of the case and the extent of the injuries.
Product recalls are often issued when companies or government agencies identify serious safety concerns. While recalls can help prevent future injuries, they do not eliminate a manufacturer’s liability for past harm.
Types of product recalls that may lead to lawsuits:
Even if a recalled product caused an injury, victims can still seek compensation through a product liability claim. A Missouri product liability lawyer can investigate whether a recall applies to a case and determine its impact on potential compensation.
Some manufacturers attempt to avoid liability by placing warnings and disclaimers on their products. However, not all warnings are legally sufficient to shield a company from responsibility.
A product warning may be considered inadequate if:
A product liability claim may still be valid even if a warning was present, depending on how the product was marketed and the severity of the injury.
In some cases, individuals who were not using the defective product may still have legal grounds to file a claim.
Examples include:
Missouri law allows third-party victims to seek compensation if they were harmed due to a defective product, even if they were not the direct consumer.
A manufacturer can still be held liable if a defective product aggravates a pre-existing medical condition or makes an existing injury worse.
For example:
In these cases, the manufacturer is responsible for the extent of the new harm caused, even if the plaintiff already had an underlying condition.
Strong evidence is critical to proving a product liability claim. If an injury occurs, taking the right steps to preserve evidence can significantly impact the case.
Steps to take after an injury caused by a defective product:
Without proper evidence, companies may deny liability or argue the product was misused. An attorney can help gather and protect critical documentation.
Product liability cases often involve large corporations, powerful legal teams, and complex technical evidence. A Missouri product liability lawyer can help:
Without legal representation, companies may deny responsibility, delay compensation, or offer lowball settlements. An experienced attorney ensures victims receive the justice they deserve.
Waiting too long to file a product liability lawsuit can weaken a case for several reasons:
Filing a claim as soon as possible helps preserve evidence, strengthen the case, and improve the chances of obtaining fair compensation.
Taking on a major corporation, manufacturer, or retailer after a product-related injury can feel overwhelming. Many companies try to deny liability, delay claims, or settle for far less than what victims deserve.
