How can we Help?
When a defective product causes injuries, the liable party can be a manufacturer, designer, retailer, or wholesaler. Utah product liability claims may involve a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or inadequate warnings. To establish a claim, an injured person must show these three product defects:
When a product has design flaws, it becomes unsafe for consumers, and the plaintiff must show the manufacturer failed to design it properly for safe use.
When the production process has flaws and the output product is different from the intended design, making it unsafe for consumers.
This issue arises when a manufacturer or distributor fails to provide adequate warnings or labels on potentially risky products.
Different sorts of defective products harm American individuals every day. In Utah, we see product liability claims involving defective products, including:
This list isn’t the complete one. If the product that injured you does not belong to any of the above, or you don’t see your product, you may still file a claim.
After you are injured by a defective product, evidence gets harder to find as time passes. What you do early can shape your product liability claim. Here is what to do:
After a defective product injury, see a medical professional right away, even if you feel fine. Some injuries, like whiplash, show up days later. Keep every record and bill to protect your claim.
Stay calm and keep the product packaging, manuals, and your receipt. The product may be the strongest evidence you have, so don’t repair, clean, or throw it away.
When it is safe, take clear photos of the product, the scene, and your injuries. Write down the brand, model, serial number, and where and when you bought it. Note what happened and who saw it while the details are fresh in your mind.
Report the defect to the right agency: the CPSC for most consumer products, NHTSA for vehicles and parts, or the FDA for medical devices and drugs. Save any recall notices you receive.
Be careful when the company or an insurer asks for a recorded statement. Don’t guess about what happened or play down your injuries. One statement made too early can hurt your whole claim.
Speaking with a Utah product liability lawyer helps you understand your rights and move forward with confidence.
A defective product can harm you or your loved one at any time. Most Utah faulty product injury victims are unaware of their legal rights. That’s why Hernandez Injury Law focuses on clear guidance, strong representation, and personal support for every client. We act fast, preserve evidence, and build a trial-ready case to hold the at-fault party accountable.
Utah clients choose Hernandez Injury Law because we offer:
We know this is more than a legal case. It is your life, your health, and your future. Our approach is built around giving you clarity and control during a difficult time.
Manufacturers usually say you misused the product, changed it, ignored a warning, or caused your own injury. Product cases come down to evidence, and we move fast to protect every critical piece of it. Our product liability attorney sends preservation letters so the company can’t lose or destroy key records.
We get the product tested by engineers and other experts who can explain the defect in plain terms. We also dig into design records, safety standards, past complaints, and recalls that show what the company knew and when.
Your part is simple. Keep the product in its original condition. Don’t repair it, clean it, or throw it away. It may be the strongest evidence you have. Utah follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means that if you share some blame, you can still recover, but your award drops by your share. That’s why solid evidence matters from day one.

Every case is different. So, the compensation available in a product liability claim depends on your injuries, losses, and who was responsible. An injured Utah victim may recover compensation across three categories:

Non-economic damages may include:
In some cases, a court may award punitive damages for conduct that meets Utah’s legal requirements. These damages punish and deter qualifying misconduct.
