Take Action Fast After a Dangerous Product Injury

If you’ve been injured by a defective product—whether it’s a medical device, household appliance, or pharmaceutical drug—what you do next can significantly impact your health, your legal rights, and your ability to recover compensation. At Leitner Warywoda, we represent clients across New York City and Long Island who need immediate guidance after suffering harm due to faulty products. Taking the right steps early protects both your wellbeing and your case.

Seek Medical Attention and Preserve the Product

 

Your health is the first priority. Seek medical care immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Not only is this critical for your recovery—it also creates medical documentation that can later support your legal claim. If possible, preserve the product that caused the injury, along with any packaging, receipts, or instructions. These items can become key evidence in proving that the product was unsafe, mislabeled, or improperly designed.

Document Everything and Avoid Contact with Manufacturer

 

Start keeping detailed notes about your injury, treatment, and any changes to your health or lifestyle. Take photographs of your injuries, the defective product, and the location of the incident. It’s also important to avoid speaking directly with the product manufacturer or their insurance company without legal representation. They may try to shift blame, downplay your injuries, or offer a lowball settlement that doesn't reflect the full scope of your damages.

Call an Experienced Product Liability Attorney

Defective product cases are complex, especially when large corporations or multiple injured parties are involved. A seasoned attorney can investigate the product, determine liability, and connect you with mass torts or class actions if appropriate. At Leitner Warywoda, our New York product liability lawyers have the experience to build strong claims, handle insurance companies, and fight for full and fair compensation for your injuries, lost income, and pain and suffering.
