Product Liability Attorneys in Boston and Springfield
Massachusetts Defective Product Lawyer
Manufactured products are supposed to be safe when used for their intended purpose. When they cause injury or death, the victims or their families may be able to seek compensation and damages for their expenses and losses.
At the law firm of Denner Pellegrino, L.L.P., with offices in Boston and Springfield, our attorneys advocate for clients who were injured by defective products. These cases can be challenging because the required standard of proof is usually very high. Our law firm has the experience and knowledge needed to prevail.
Product Liability Cases
Our cases involve medical devices, consumer products, and professional tools and equipment. Our law firm has helped injured clients recover compensation for injuries suffered as a result of defects in manufactured products such as:
- Heart valves
- Hip replacements
- Pacemakers
- Knee replacements

We undertake cases arising from specific defects, as well as negligence and malpractice when placing the devices in a patient.

Our cases include third-party liability cases that involve injuries to an employee caused by someone other than his or her employer — the manufacturer, designer or other party involved in the production of the defective tool or machine.

- Toys and furniture

Issues in Proving Defects
Our lawyers must demonstrate that the client's damages and losses were the result of using the product and that they were caused by a defect. It is up to the plaintiff and his or her attorney to identify the defect, which could be in the design, the manufacture, the components, the packaging or the warnings and instructions accompanying the item. This often requires us to consult with engineers, designers and specialists in the intended field of use. Because of the investigation and consulting required, these cases can be complex and expensive, but our lawyers have the knowledge and resources to see them through.
