Product manufacturers have a duty to place products on the market that are safe for their intended purpose and any reasonably foreseeable use. When they fail in that duty and release products that injure the consumer, the New Mexico product liability attorneys at Duhigg & Berlin can pursue a product liability claim that holds the manufacturers accountable for their actions and compensates the injured for their damages.

Dangerous Products and Legal Liability in New Mexico

Product defects usually fall into one of three categories:

• Design defects
• Manufacturing defects
• Failure to warn

Defective product cases are governed by a complex area of the law that attorneys often refer to as “products liability,” and claims are brought on the basis of legal theories known as “strict liability” and “negligence.”

The first thing that must be done to protect your legal rights in a case like this is to preserve the product. It is also important to choose a law firm that has access to the appropriate types of experts and the financial resources needed to withstand well-funded defendants who may have hundreds of millions of dollars at stake in the outcome.

We have those resources because we have a combined 60 years of experience successfully representing victims of negligence. We can offer you the kind of personal, face-to-face representation and service that many others either cannot, or do not, provide.

ALBUQUERQUE DEFECTIVE BUILDINGS & PROPERTY LAWYER

Our homes and business buildings are often our largest financial investments. Defective construction techniques can slowly eat away at these investments until they are so damaged that our investments are lost. Contractors may then either refuse, or be unable, to repair the damage caused by their own shoddy workmanship – or their use of defective materials. Insurance companies may also refuse to remedy the problem because of the large loss and cost of repairs. Construction defect litigation may be your best recourse to protect your property. The attorneys at Duhigg & Berlin can help when those you trusted with your home or business have failed.

Inspections Don’t Catch Every Construction Defect

While there is some comfort in building your own structure and being able to watch the contractors work, it is still no guarantee that the end product will be exactly as you had hoped. In any case, even the best inspections can miss some hidden construction defects or poor construction practices until something catastrophic occurs that requires you dig deep. Some of the more common issues include:

• toxic mold
• design defects and material deficiencies
• subsurface deficiencies
• code violations
• unsafe structures caused by cutting corners
• substandard workmanship or inexperienced general contractors
• unskilled or overworked subcontractors who poorly supervise subcontracted work leading to
• electrical and mechanical problems
• plumbing leaks
• pest infestation and
• expansive soil conditions
