Kansas City Product Liability Attorney

Consumers trust the products they purchase with their hard-earned dollars and use every day will be reasonably safe when used as intended. When that trust is broken and a defective or dangerous product causes a serious injury, the consequences can be life changing.


McGreevy Law represents people throughout Kansas and Missouri who have been injured by unreasonably dangerous or defective products. We investigate and research the product, analyze how it may have caused your injuries, and carefully evaluate your case.

What Is a Product Liability Claim?

A product liability claim may arise when a product causes injury because of a defect in its design, manufacturing, or warnings and instructions.


These cases involve a wide variety of consumer and commercial products, from ladders to motor vehicles. Whether you or a loved one have a potential product liability claim depends on the specific facts and various state laws that may apply.


Every case requires a careful review of how the product was used, how the injuries occurred, and how various state laws impact the case.

Common Types of Product Defects

Product liability claims generally involve one or more types of defects, including:


  • Design defects
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Inadequate warnings or instructions
  • Defective or missing safety features


Understanding the type of defect involved is an important part of evaluating how your injury occurred and identifying all those who may be responsible for causing or contributing to cause your injuries.

Products That May Lead to Injury Claims

Product liability cases can involve many different products. A brief and non-exhaustive list includes:


  • Motor vehicles and vehicle components
  • Consumer appliances
  • Industrial equipment
  • Heavy machinery
  • Household products
  • Children's products
  • Medical devices
  • Prescription medications


Not every product-related injury results in a legal claim, but we're ready and available to discuss your injuries and potential claims so you can understand your legal rights.

What We Review

Each product liability case is unique. Our review typically begins by gaining a deeper understanding of:


  • The product involved
  • How the product was being used
  • The nature of the alleged defect(s)
  • The injuries sustained
  • Medical treatment received
  • Available photographs or physical evidence
  • Product manuals, warnings, or instructions
  • Recalls and other similar incidents


You do not need to have every document before contacting us. Our first conversation is an opportunity to discuss what happened and gain a better understanding of your injuries. The most important and first step is for you to secure the subject product in its current condition. This helps to preserve your claims. If you are unable to do so, reaching out to an attorney quickly may give the attorney a chance to get involved in evidence preservation early in the case.

Who May Be Responsible?

Depending on the circumstances, more than one party may be involved in a product liability claim.


Potentially responsible parties may include:

  • Product designers
  • Original equipment manufacturers
  • Component suppliers and manufacturers
  • Distributors
  • Wholesalers
  • Retailers

Determining responsibility requires a careful review of the product, the available evidence, and the applicable laws. Contact McGreevy Law so we can begin that process for your potential product liability case.

Product Recalls and Safety Notices

Some defective products become the subject of recalls or safety notices only after injuries are reported. We’ve handled those types of claims, pre- and post-recalls.


While a recall does not automatically determine whether a legal claim exists, it often becomes an important piece of information considered during an investigation. It may lead to other similar incidents of injury involving similar circumstances or an explanation of the product’s defects. If you’ve been injured by a recalled product, please contact McGreevy Law.


We'll review the facts of your case and explain whether the recall or other safety information may be relevant to a potential product liability claim.

How Product Liability Claims Are Handled

Product liability claims often involve detailed investigations and highly technical issues.


After learning about your potential claims, we review the available evidence, gather relevant records, work with appropriate experts, communicate with insurance companies and opposing parties, and prepare your case for trial.


Every case is prepared carefully for trial so we’re ready to fight for your optimal recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What qualifies as a product liability case?

    A product liability claim may exist when a defective or unreasonably dangerous product causes or contributes to cause your injury. Whether a claim is available depends on the specific facts and the applicable laws.

  • What should I do if I was injured by a defective product?

    If possible, keep the product in its current condition. Retain its packaging, instructions, and any related documentation. Photographs and medical records are also helpful. If you have questions about your potential product liability claim, we're happy to discuss them with you.

  • What if the product has been recalled?

    A recall may be relevant, but it does not automatically determine whether you have a product liability claim. Every case still requires individual review.


  • Will my product liability case go to trial?

    Many product liability cases resolve through settlement, while others require litigation through trial. We prepare your case carefully so we're ready for whatever it requires.

  • How much does it cost to hire McGreevy Law?

    McGreevy Law handles product liability cases on a contingency fee basis. That means there is typically no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered on your behalf. We explain our fee agreement in detail before you decide whether to move forward with us.
