Product Liability Lawyer Charleston, SC

When you purchase a product—whether it’s a household appliance, a car, or a medication—you expect it to be safe when used as intended. Unfortunately, defective or dangerous products still reach the hands of consumers and cause serious injuries or death. If you’ve suffered harm due to a faulty product, a Charleston, SC product liability lawyer from The Solomon Law Group, LLC can help you pursue justice and fair compensation.

While our office is based in Columbia, SC, we proudly represent injury victims throughout the state, including in Charleston. With years of experience handling complex product liability claims, we’re committed to helping clients hold negligent manufacturers and distributors accountable.

Understanding Product Liability in South Carolina

South Carolina product liability law is designed to protect consumers from harm caused by unsafe products. A product liability claim arises when someone is injured due to a defective product, whether the issue lies in the design, manufacturing, or labeling.

There are generally three types of product defects recognized under the law:

1. Design Defects – The product is inherently dangerous due to its flawed design, even before it is manufactured.

2. Manufacturing Defects – An error occurs during production, making the product unsafe even though its design is sound.

3. Marketing Defects – These include a failure to warn about potential risks or inadequate instructions for safe use.

Each of these defects can have severe consequences. Our legal team will investigate your injury to identify the root cause and determine all responsible parties.

Examples of Defective Products

Product liability cases can involve a wide range of everyday items. In Charleston, we’ve seen injuries tied to products such as:

  • Faulty vehicle components (brakes, airbags, tires)
  • Household electronics that catch fire or malfunction
  • Power tools lacking essential safety features
  • Contaminated food or beverages
  • Prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications
  • Medical devices such as implants or surgical tools
  • Children’s toys with choking hazards or toxic materials

Even something as routine as a pressure cooker, phone charger, or cleaning product can become hazardous if not manufactured or labeled correctly. If you or a loved one has been injured by a product like these, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Who Is Liable for a Defective Product?

Product liability cases often involve more than just the company that made the item. Other entities along the product’s supply chain can also be responsible for your injuries. Potentially liable parties include:

  • Product designers
  • Component part manufacturers
  • Assembly or manufacturing plants
  • Wholesalers and distributors
  • Retail stores or online sellers

Our attorneys will identify each negligent party and hold them accountable for their role in allowing a defective product to reach the marketplace.

  • Future medical treatment and rehabilitation
