Injured by a Dangerous or Defective Product? Our Philadelphia Product-Liability Lawyers Demand Maximum Compensation
A shattering pressure cooker, an exploding e-bike battery, or a faulty pacemaker can turn an ordinary day into an emergency room nightmare. When a dangerous or defective product causes serious injuries, the insurance company for a billion-dollar manufacturer will fight every penny of your claim. You need a battle-tested Philadelphia product liability lawyer who knows how to prove manufacturing defects, design flaws, and inadequate warnings and hold every party in the supply chain accountable.
The Law Offices of Craig A. Altman is the law firm Philadelphians trust for high-stakes product liability claims. Each case is led by an experienced product liability attorney who:
Secures the product for forensic testing and subpoenas internal safety memos before they vanish.
Identifies every liable entity, including designers, product manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
Files a strict liability product liability lawsuit for full financial compensation: medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic harm.
You pay nothing upfront; our fee comes only from the settlement or verdict we win.
Most Philadelphia product liability lawsuits are filed in the Court of Common Pleas Trial Division. Federal diversity actions may proceed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; we handle both.
From our Center City office, we fight for injured Pennsylvanians across the Greater Philadelphia area, including Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester Counties.

Pennsylvania Product Liability Laws
Rule | Impact on Your Product Liability Claim |
|---|---|
Strict Liability | You don’t have to prove negligence, only that a defect existed and caused harm. |
Two-Year Statute of Limitations (42 Pa. C.S. § 5524) | File within 24 months of injury; delayed-discovery exceptions are rare. |
Rebuttable Presumption (12-Year Statute of Repose) | Products older than 12 years may limit claims unless the manufacturer fails to warn of later hazards. |
Understanding these laws lets our Philadelphia product liability lawyers preserve evidence and maximize leverage.
Damages We Pursue for Philadelphia Product Liability Victims
Economic: ER bills, surgery, future rehab, home modifications, lost wages, diminished earning capacity.
Non-Economic: Pain, emotional distress, loss of life’s enjoyment, scarring.
Punitive Damages: When a company hides testing data or continues selling a known defective item.
Our goal is to obtain full financial compensation on behalf of our clients to end the burden of their defective product injuries.
