What are the elements of a defective product claim in Fargo?
Lawsuits for defective products, called “product liability” lawsuits, typically fall into one of the following categories (though it can certainly involve more than one):
- A strict liability claim. Under this theory of law, a company can be held liable if the product is defective. A product is defective if:
- The design is faulty due to poor planning or failure to test the product.
- The workmanship is of poor quality due to the use of substandard parts or other reasons.
- The instructions on usage are wrong or unclear.
- Warnings about safe usage were not properly given – such as the failure of drug manufacturers to warn consumers of the dangerous side effects of the drugs.
- A breach of warranty claim. This claim requires showing that the manufacturers of the product breached the warranties (written representations) they made about the product. The breach must be the cause of your injuries or the death of a loved one.
- Negligence. The manufacturer’s negligence according to acceptable industry standards caused an accident to occur. The accident must cause your injuries or the death of a loved one.
At Larson Law, our Fargo defective product lawyers normally file your product liability claim against the manufacturer, the distributor, and any retailers.

How do your lawyers fight for Fargo product liability victims?
Our lawyers work with investigators who speak with relevant witnesses, examine the product, and explore whether there is any video or images of the product after it malfunctioned.
We work with product safety experts who are knowledgeable about the type of product that was defective, who can explain why the product was defective, who can prepare detailed reports, and who can testify in court so juries can easily understand what went wrong.
Our team also investigates if there have been agency or manufacturer recalls or complaints about the brand and model of the product that caused your injuries.
We negotiate with the insurance carriers for the manufacturers after the discovery phase of your case is complete. We always prepare your case for trial in the event a settlement cannot be reached.
Our team will guide you calmly and clearly through each phase of the claims process.
How much is my defective product claim worth in Fargo?
Your product liability claim is a type of personal injury claim. Our Fargo defective product lawyers work with your doctors, and our network of doctors, if necessary, to verify the injuries you have, explain the type and length of medical care you’ll need, the cost of the care, and all the ways your injuries are making your life difficult. We also work with your employers and anyone else who may have knowledge of your damages.
We demand compensation for all your damages to date and all the damages you will reasonably incur for the rest of your life. The damage claim includes:
- All your medical expenses including ER care, hospital care, surgeries, physician care, psychological care, rehabilitative therapy, assistive devices, and medications
- All the income and work benefits you lost and will lose – including permanent disability pay
- Your daily physical pain and emotional suffering which includes every twinge of pain, each ache, every itch, all your trauma, every moment of anxiety, your worries, and depression
- Any property damage such as the value of the product you were using
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of consortium (marital enjoyment)
- Loss of bodily function

We seek punitive damages if the conduct of the manufacturer was wanton or in complete disregard for your safety.
Our lawyers also file wrongful death actions if a defective product causes your loved one to die.
