Georgia Product Liability Law
Georgia product liability law allows someone injured by a defective product to file a claim against the manufacturer based on strict liability or negligence. Strict liability is often preferable since it does not require you to prove that the manufacturer was at fault. According to our Atlanta multimeter accident lawyers, three types of defects can be alleged:
- a design defect;
- a manufacturing defect; or
- a warning defect (inadequate product warnings).
Although the defect in a multimeter that triggers an arc flash explosion could be characterized as a design defect, it is perhaps better characterized a warning defect if the product’s information failed to warn that the multimeter was not suitable for use with industrial electrical systems. If you are not sure if the manufacturer could be at fault for the explosion you suffered, speak with one of our experienced Atlanta multimeter accident attorneys. We will help you determine the circumstances at fault.

Georgia Worker’s Compensation Law
The worker’s compensation system is designed to compensate employees for workplace accidents. In Georgia, an injured worker cannot seek pain and suffering damages, which can amount to much more than damages for medical expenses. Fortunately, worker’s compensation does not apply to claims against a product manufacturer, at least when the claimant is not an employee of the manufacturer. Our Atlanta multimeter attorneys are well-versed in worker’s compensation. If your injury happened at work, contact our law firm to find out how it is best to approach a lawsuit.
You Only Pay If You Win
We know that when you file a personal injury claim you seek victory, and victory means money in the bank. Our Atlanta multimeter accident attorneys are fine with that since we win well over 90 percent of our cases. Consequently, we won’t charge you a dime in legal fees unless we secure compensation for you. Even then, you won’t owe us anything until after the money actually arrives.

The Sooner You Act, the Better
The longer you wait to pursue a Georgia product liability claim, the weaker your claim gets. This is because:
(i) the evidence tends to deteriorate over time (including witness memories), and
(ii) the statute of limitations deadline approaches, allowing less time to prepare an effective case.
