"I was hit while riding my bike. My leg will never be the same and I needed fair compensation. My first attorney told me to expect no more than $4,000. Thanks to BicycleLaw, I settled the case for $100,000"

Defective Cycling Products
Products liability refers to the law of liability for defective products. All parties engaged in the business of supplying the product for use or consumption by the public may be held liable. The liable parties may include the manufacturer of parts, the assembling entity, the wholesaler, the distributor, and the retailer. Products liability claims may be based on a legal theory of negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty. The applicable law of each state varies, but the three types of product defects that may incur liability in a products liability case are:
  1. Design defects: the injury was caused by poor design.
  2. Manufacturing defects: the injury was caused as a result of a defect in the manufacture of the product.
  3. Failure to warn: the injury was caused as a result of a product failing to be accompanied with proper instructions.

Advice: If you believe your injury was due to a defective cylcing-related product, keep possession of the product! Your best chance for recovery requires proving the product is defective. This proof will require an engineering analysis by an expert who will need access to the product.
