When a manufacturer, distributor or seller places a defective or dangerous product into the commercial world, they show an utter disregard for us and our families. We trust that products we use will be safe for us and our children, yet each year thousands of people are injured by faulty or unsafe products. Sadly, according to the Consumer Protection Safety Commission, 80 percent of fatalities associated with home appliances or furniture defects involve children younger than ten years old! We hold the deep conviction that people are more important than profit.
When you or someone you know is injured as a result of a dangerous or defective product in Connecticut, you can bring a legal claim against the manufacturer, distributor and/or seller of that product for monetary damages with the help of a Connecticut product liability lawyer from Trantolo & Trantolo.

Our Defective Product Injury Layers Can Handle Connecticut’s Statute of Limitations

Our Connecticut product liability attorneys will ensure all deadlines are met, preserving your right to seek compensation.

Can I Recover Damages If I Am Partially at Fault for a Product Injury in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, you can still recover damages in a product liability case even if you are partially at fault. The state follows a comparative negligence law, which allows compensation to be adjusted based on your level of responsibility. For instance, if you are found 35% at fault, your total compensation will be reduced by 35%.
Product liability claims often stem from design flaws, manufacturing errors, or the failure to provide adequate warnings about risks associated with the product, so it’s best to have a specialized Connecticut defective product lawyer by your side before you file a claim.
Defendants frequently use the following defenses to deny liability or reduce compensation:
- Product modification: Arguing that you or another party altered the product after purchase, causing the injury.
- Assumption of risk: Claiming you knowingly used the product in its defective condition and willingly accepted the associated risks.
To counter these defenses and maximize your recovery, it’s essential to have experienced legal representation. At Trantolo & Trantolo, our experienced Connecticut product liability attorneys are well-versed in countering these arguments and fighting for the compensation you deserve. Contact us today for a free consultation to learn more about your rights.
