Each Product Defect Is Different
Every product defect case presents unique issues. Liability may depend on how the product was designed, manufactured, marketed, or labeled, as well as how it was used at the time of injury. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla carefully evaluate product design, manufacturing processes, warning labels, instructions, and prior recall history to determine how the defect occurred.
Product defect injuries often require technical analysis and expert testimony. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla work with engineers, safety experts, and medical professionals to understand the defect, establish causation, and fully evaluate your damages, including medical expenses, future care, lost income, and pain and suffering.
How Do I Know I Need a Lawyer?
Serious or Permanent Injuries – If a defective product caused fractures, burns, amputations, organ damage, or long-term impairment, it is critical to speak with a product defect lawyer. These claims often involve significant medical costs and future care needs.
Product Recalls or Prior Complaints – If the product involved has been recalled or linked to prior injuries, legal representation can help determine whether you are entitled to compensation.
Manufacturer or Insurance Resistance – Product manufacturers and their insurers often deny responsibility or blame user error. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla understand Ohio product liability law and can challenge these defenses.
What to do after A Product Defect Injury
Call for medical attention- in cases where there is injury, call 911 so that police and emergency medical services can respond to the scene, treat injuries, and document the accident.

What Kinds of Product Defect Cases We Have Handled
Defective product design – Some products are inherently dangerous due to poor design, even when manufactured correctly. These cases often involve tools, machinery, consumer electronics, or safety equipment that fail during normal use.
Manufacturing defects – Errors during production can result in weakened components, faulty wiring, contamination, or missing safety features. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla help clients identify when a product deviates from its intended design.
Failure to warn or inadequate instructions – Manufacturers have a duty to provide clear warnings and proper instructions. Injuries may occur when products lack warnings about known risks or foreseeable misuse.
Defective automotive parts – Faulty brakes, airbags, tires, steering components, or other vehicle parts can cause serious crashes. Attorneys Galla and Scanlon pursue claims against manufacturers and suppliers when defective components contribute to injuries.
Medical device and pharmaceutical defects – Dangerous medical devices or drugs may cause serious complications, infections, or long-term harm. These cases often involve complex regulatory and medical issues requiring experienced legal handling.
Children’s product defects – Defective toys, furniture, car seats, or safety products can cause severe injuries to children. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla help families hold manufacturers accountable for unsafe products.
