Warrensburg Product Liability Lawyers
File a Claim Against a Negligent Party & Secure Compensation
Like most states, Missouri has very strict laws when it comes to companies manufacturing and retailing defective and dangerous products. In fact, companies are legally required to sell safe products with accurate warnings labels that caution consumers about any potential hazards. If you purchased a product that caused you injury or property damage, you may be able to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer.
To secure compensation, your legal team must be able to prove the following:
- You suffered an injury or monetary loss
- The defective product is responsible for your injury or monetary loss
- You used the product as the manufacturer intended
At Kempton & Russell, our product liability attorneys in Warrensburg believe that holding negligent manufacturers accountable for their actions is the only way to protect consumers in the future. Our diligent legal team can investigate the manufacturer and the product in question, determine the negligent party, and litigate in court on your behalf.

Understanding Product Liability Claims
A successful product liability lawsuit often hinges on your legal team being able to prove three essential facts: the product is defective; the defect in question has made the product fundamentally dangerous; and, as a result, the defective product caused you injury and/or property damage. The amount of damages you can recover in a product liability case is entirely dependent on the severity of your injuries and the extent of the property damage. Damages can include past and future medical expenses, lost wages, punitive damages, etc.
Per Missouri state law, a product liability claim can be filed against a negligent party for any of the following defects:
- Design defects: There is a dangerous flaw in the product’s original design that makes the entire line unsafe.
- Manufacturing defects: The product line is safe, but the particular item you purchased is defective due to a manufacturing error.
- Inadequate warnings: The manufacturer failed to warn consumers about the potential dangers of using the product.
- Insufficient instructions: The manufacturer provided inadequate user instructions when retailing the product.
