Fighting for Those Harmed by Dangerous & Defective Products in Madison County
When a product you trust causes serious harm, the consequences can be devastating. At T.

Our team understands the complex legal and technical issues involved in product liability cases and works to hold manufacturers, distributors, and sellers accountable.
Product liability law exists to protect consumers. If a company places a product on the market, it has a legal obligation to ensure it is reasonably safe when used as intended.

Understanding Product Liability in Mississippi
Mississippi follows a strict liability standard for product liability claims. This means a manufacturer or seller can be held liable for a defective product even if they did not act negligently. To bring a claim, an injured party must typically show:
- The product was defective in design, manufacture, or marketing;
- The defect made the product unreasonably dangerous;
- The product was being used as intended or in a foreseeable manner; and
- The defect directly caused the injury or death.
Our firm litigates cases involving dangerous consumer goods, medical devices, prescription and over-the-counter medications, industrial equipment, and vehicle components.
