Consumer Protection Attorney

Our consumer protection lawyers investigate claims to see if there are laws in place that should’ve prevented a business or entity from dishonest tactics. If our attorneys find that the entity that you did business with behaved in a way the ignores consumer protection laws, we may be able to file a lawsuit on your behalf.

What is Consumer Law?

Consumer law means that the average consumer is protected from unfair practices, inaccurate information and unethical ways of doing business. When most people think of consumer protection, they think of banks and fair debt collection practices. However, consumer protection laws cover an array of industries and protect consumers in a variety of ways.

A consumer protection lawyer may file a product liability claim on behalf of a group of people who were deceived in the following ways:

• Failure to warn: A corporation fails to adequately warn consumers about the dangers associated with its product.
• Defective design: A product was designed in a way that was very likely to cause harm. Through the investigation, your attorney will seek expert testimony to find out if the product could’ve been made in a way that might have prevented injuries.
• Manufacturing defect: An error in the manufacturing process made the product defective.

In addition, a consumer protection lawyer may file a class action lawsuit when a significant number of people suffer the same kind of harm.
