When a manufacturer or a business puts a product out into the world, they have an obligation to consumers to make sure that the product is safe to use. If you’ve been injured by a dangerous or defective product, you’re entitled to compensation from any person or company responsible for your injuries. At Koller Baker & Associates, it’s our mission to hold companies responsible for the damage that they cause their consumers, and to help our clients take back their power and get their lives back on track.

Common Accidents Caused by Dangerous or Defective Products in Oklahoma
Defective or dangerous products can sometimes cause accidents when you least expect. No one anticipates a refrigerator catching fire due to faulty wiring, or a mislabeled pharmaceutical product causing medical problems. The fact is that product malfunctions are a common part of life.
Some common accidents we’ve handled include:
- Vehicle Accidents: Flawed brakes, defective airbags, or malfunctioning seat belts can lead to catastrophic collisions.
- Household Appliance Malfunctions: Faulty wiring, overheating, or design defects in household items like heaters or kitchen appliances may result in fires or electrical burns.
- Toys and Children’s Products: Poorly designed or toxic children’s products can cause choking hazards, poisoning, or other serious injuries.
- Medical Device Failures: Defective implants, surgical tools, or prescription drugs can have life-altering consequences.
- Industrial Equipment Malfunctions: Dangerous tools and machinery can lead to workplace accidents, amputations, or fatalities.
At Koller Baker & Associates, we don’t just file lawsuits – we build ironclad cases to maximize your compensation.
Proving Negligence in a Product Liability Lawsuit in Oklahoma
Product liability cases often hinge on proving negligence. Negligence means that the manufacturer, distributor, or seller of a product acted carelessly or intentionally to allow a dangerous product to enter your home.
To build a successful claim, we focus on these key elements:
- The Product Was Defective: A product can be deemed defective due to its design, manufacturing process, or lack of adequate warnings.
- The Defect Caused Your Injury: We gather evidence to show a direct link between the defect and your injury. This often involves expert testimony, medical records, and accident reconstruction.
- You Used the Product as Intended: To establish liability, we demonstrate that you were using the product in a reasonable and intended manner at the time of the injury.
- Negligence by a Party in the Supply Chain: We identify all parties responsible for the defect, from manufacturers to distributors and retailers. We may use expert witnesses, investigators, and your testimony to demonstrate that it was the negligence of the responsible party that directly led to your accident.
At Koller Baker & Associates, we don’t just file lawsuits – we build ironclad cases to maximize your compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a defective product?
A defective product is one that has a design flaw, manufacturing error, or lacks proper safety warnings, making it unreasonably dangerous.
Who can I sue in a product liability case?
Potential defendants include manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and anyone involved in bringing the product to market. An experienced product liability attorney can help you identify who is at fault.
How long do I have to file a product liability claim in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma law generally allows two years from the date of injury or when you first discovered the injury to file a claim, but some exceptions may apply.
Do I need expert witnesses for my case?
It depends. If the defect wasn’t discoverable until the accident occurred, you may still have a valid claim. Talk to an attorney to find out more.
Can I file a product liability case for an old product?
Our attorneys are skilled at gathering evidence and building strong cases. If the property owner is denying any responsibility, we will most likely need to end negotiations with their insurance company and take the matter to a court of law.
