If you have been injured by a dangerous and defective product, getting legal help quickly is very important. Generally in these cases, the product that caused harm should be preserved, and the circumstances of the injury investigated and documented thoroughly. Securing the product can sometimes require a court order - therefore, acting quickly is a must. Speak with an attorney about the protection and preservation of the product that caused the injury.

Particular examples: if you have been injured by failure of an automobile, a roll-over of your vehicle, airbag failure to deploy, seat-belt failure, etc., the vehicle should not be modified, altered or repaired without consulting an attorney. The scene of the accident needs quick and thorough investigation and documentation. If you have been injured by any other product, that product need to be preserved as well - if it was a food product (food poisoning or contamination or the product), the foodstuff, if there is any left, may need laboratory testing and should be preserved. In industrial accidents with defective products, a court order will often be required to protect the machine from changes or destruction. This is time sensitive. The "chain-of-custody" of this evidence is very important too. Speaking with an attorney quickly after the injury occurs about preserving the defectively dangerous product and its chain of custody is important. Evidence can disappear fast, along with the chances of success in the case.

If you have been injured by a dangerous product, get the right legal help, right now.
