The King Firm - Where Justice Reigns
No Win. No Fee. No Worries. Only Pay When We Win.
Product Liability
Serving Since 1973
When you purchase a product — whether it’s a vehicle, a medical device, or a child’s toy — you trust that it will perform safely and as advertised. Unfortunately, defective or poorly designed products cause thousands of serious injuries every year. The King Firm represents victims throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee who have been harmed by unsafe consumer goods, automotive components, medical devices, industrial machinery, and more. Our attorneys bring extensive litigation experience and technical insight to every product liability case.
Our attorneys are currently licensed in the state of Alabama, but may enter cases in other states via pro hac vice admission, subject to state statutes, professional standards, and court rules.
Understanding Product Liability Law
Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers legally responsible when their products cause harm. These cases often involve complex engineering questions and require attorneys — and expert witnesses — who can trace injuries back to specific design flaws, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings.
Across the Southeast, companies can be held liable for:
-
Design defects: inherent flaws that make a product dangerous even when used correctly
-
Manufacturing defects: errors that occur during production or assembly
-
Failure to warn: when a company fails to provide adequate safety instructions or warnings about known risks
Importantly, victims do not need to prove negligence in all cases — only that the product was defective and that defect caused the injury.
Common Types of Defective Product Cases
The King Firm has represented clients in a wide range of product-related injury claims across multiple states, including (but not limited to):
-
Faulty automotive components such as airbags, seat belts, or tires
-
Dangerous pharmaceuticals or medical devices
-
Defective power tools or industrial machinery
-
Unsafe children’s toys or furniture
-
Household appliances with fire, electrical, or overheating hazards
These claims often involve large corporations with extensive legal defense teams. The King Firm is prepared to match that power with thorough preparation, well-developed evidence, and relentless advocacy.
Proving a Product Was Defective
Product liability cases hinge on expert analysis. The King Firm partners with engineers, medical professionals, industry specialists, and product designers to reconstruct the chain of events that led to an injury. We examine:
-
Recall data
-
Safety testing reports
-
Manufacturing records
-
Quality-control documentation
-
Industry standards and regulatory compliance
We use these findings to demonstrate how and why a product failed — and who is responsible for that failure.
Because each state in the Southeast has its own filing deadlines and evidentiary requirements, it is important to act quickly before critical evidence is lost, altered, or destroyed.
What Compensation May Include
Victims of defective products may be entitled to compensation for:
-
Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
-
Lost wages or diminished earning capacity
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional distress
-
Permanent disability or disfigurement
-
Property damage
In some cases, punitive damages if the manufacturer acted with reckless disregard for safety
Our attorneys pursue every category of compensation available under the laws of the state where the incident occurred.

Alli B.
Jasper AL
My name is Alli. When I was 16, I was involved in a car accident late on a Friday night as I was heading home from hanging out with my friends. It was one of the scariest moments of my life and left me hurt and afraid to drive for quite some time. When I called The King Firm, they spent a bunch of time with me so they could understand not only what happened during the accident, but how I felt and how my healing was coming along. They worked diligently on my case and fought for the justice I needed to move on with my life. Their hard work led to a successful resolution of my case. I would send any of my friends or family members to Jimmy King and his team because I know they will be in the best hands.
Questions?
Can I be partly at fault for an injury caused by a product?
In most cases, the manufacturing company is held liable for injuries caused by defective products. However, depending on the nature of the case, other parties may be held fully or partially liable. For example, if your product was repaired by an individual independent of the manufacturer, the repair technician may be held responsible. In other cases, the retailer of the product may be liable. To determine who is liable, you should contact an attorney who specializes in product liability matters.
Product Liability
What defenses do manufacturers use in product-defect cases?
In many cases, manufacturers will argue that the user misused the product and, as a result of this incorrect use, injury ensued. This defense may be valid in many cases; however, it is the manufacturer's duty to provide notification of intended use and warn of the dangers of misuse. If these warnings were not expressed on the product prior to use, the defense might not hold as much weight in court.
Product Liability
Should I join a defective-product class action?
When a product causes widespread injury to its users, class action suits are often initiated by a group of plaintiffs. When contemplating whether to join this class of harmed users, be sure to consult a personal injury attorney because doing so may compromise some of your rights. Our law firm can help evaluate your case and advise on the best course of action.
