As a former president of the Trial Lawyers Association, he has extensive experience handling complex product liability claims. Goldberg Law, LLC, is committed to protecting consumers and securing fair compensation for those harmed by defective products.
Understanding Maryland Product Liability Law
Maryland law holds manufacturers, distributors and sellers responsible for dangerous products that cause harm. There are three main types of product defects:
- Design defects: Flaws in the original design that make a product unsafe even when used correctly.
- Manufacturing defects: Errors occurring during production that make an otherwise safe product dangerous.
- Failure to warn: Inadequate labeling or instructions that fail to inform consumers about potential risks.
Victims of defective products may pursue claims based on negligence, strict liability or breach of warranty.
Steps To Take If Injured By A Defective Product
If a defective product causes injury, taking the right steps is essential to building a strong claim.
- Seek immediate medical attention
- Preserve the defective product and any packaging
- Avoid discussing the case with manufacturers or insurance companies without consulting an attorney
- Document the incident thoroughly
Proper documentation has a critical role in a product liability claim. This includes:
- Photographs of the defective product and injuries
- Medical records detailing the treatment received
- Receipts or proof of purchase
- Witness statements from individuals who saw the incident occur
Goldberg Law, LLC, is committed to fighting for injured clients, pursuing maximum compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

- Investigate the product’s defect and gather evidence
- Consult with industry experts to support the claim
- Handle negotiations with manufacturers and insurers
- Represent the client in court if a fair settlement is not offered
Attorney Goldberg can determine the best legal strategy for each case.
