Manufacturers and sellers have a legal obligation to ensure the products they put into the world are safe for their intended use. When a defective or dangerously designed product causes serious injury, the company responsible can be held accountable. Wood Legal takes on manufacturers, distributors, and corporate defendants who put profit ahead of safety.
Pennsylvania law allows injured individuals to pursue a product liability claim when a product is defective in one of several ways: a manufacturing defect (something went wrong in how the product was made), a design defect (the product was inherently unsafe even when made correctly), or a failure to warn (the manufacturer failed to adequately warn users of a known danger). Unlike many negligence claims, Pennsylvania product liability law can allow injured individuals to hold a manufacturer responsible without needing to prove the manufacturer was careless, only that the product was defective and caused injury.

Wood, Jr., is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an honor limited to attorneys who have recovered million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for their clients.

That track record includes a $2.65 million recovery for a catastrophically injured worker in a product liability case involving a defective industrial blender, and that same standard applies to every product liability case Wood Legal takes on.
