If you’ve been hurt by a defective or unsafe product, you’re not alone — and you’re not without legal options. At Herren · Adams, we represent individuals in Lexington and across Kentucky who have suffered serious injuries due to poorly designed, improperly manufactured, or dangerously marketed products. And with over 35 years of experience fighting for injured Kentuckians, our team is here to hold manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable when their products cause harm.
We also understand the frustration and shock that follows an injury caused by something you trusted — whether it’s a vehicle, a tool, a medication, or a product you use every day in your home. That’s why we work tirelessly to ensure our clients receive full and fair compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial toll these injuries create.
There was a time when product safety was a gamble — “buyer beware” was the rule. But the law has evolved, and now, under the principles of strict liability, companies are responsible when the products they design, manufacture, or sell cause harm.
That means you no longer need to prove negligence the same way you would in a car accident or nursing home case. Instead, the focus is on whether the product was defective, unreasonably dangerous, and directly responsible for your injuries.
At Herren Law, we have the knowledge and resources to take on powerful corporations and navigate these complex product liability cases from start to finish.
We represent clients in a wide variety of product defect claims, including:
Defective Vehicles and Auto Components
From faulty brakes to airbags that fail to deploy, we handle cases involving unsafe vehicle components that contribute to crashes or make injuries worse. These cases often require in-depth investigation, access to recall data, and expert analysis.
Defective Children’s Products and Toys
When it comes to kids’ products, safety is non-negotiable. If a defective crib, toy, or child seat has led to injury, we’ll make sure those responsible are held accountable.
Defective Tools and Workplace Equipment
Many Kentuckians rely on machinery and tools to do their jobs. When these products are improperly built or lack adequate safety warnings, serious injuries can occur. We pursue manufacturers who fail to protect workers through safe design and clear instructions.
Unsafe or Contaminated Food Products
Improper labeling, contamination, and production issues can turn a routine meal into a medical emergency. We’re experienced in handling product liability claims involving serious foodborne illnesses and allergens.
Our firm has built a reputation for tackling even the most challenging defective drug and medical device cases. These cases often involve complex science and deep-pocketed pharmaceutical companies — but we are no strangers to either. We’ve represented individuals harmed by:
Elmiron
Zofran
Lipitor
Testosterone therapies
Actos and Fosamax
Fresenius dialysis systems
Cardiac implants, stents, and pacemakers
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin, Avelox, Levaquin)
When medications or devices meant to improve your health end up causing long-term damage or life-altering complications, our team is ready to pursue justice. These are cases that demand deep legal and medical knowledge — and we bring both to the table.
It’s important to know that not every injury caused by a product automatically qualifies as a product liability claim. To have a valid case, several elements must be present and provable in court:
The product was defectively designed, manufactured, or labeled
The product was being used as intended (or in a reasonably foreseeable way)
You were injured as a direct result of the defect
The product had not been substantially altered from its original condition
At Herren Law, we conduct thorough investigations and consult with industry experts to establish these critical elements. Whether your case ends in negotiation or trial, we prepare every case like we’re taking it to court — because we often do.
We’re proud to serve individuals and families in Lexington and across Central Kentucky, and we take that responsibility seriously. When you choose us to handle your defective product case, you’re getting:
Decades of personal injury experience focused solely on fighting for the injured
Trial-tested lawyers who are prepared to go up against large corporations and insurance companies
Hands-on legal support, with your case managed by a seasoned attorney — not handed off to an assistant or junior associate
Access to trusted experts, including engineers, medical professionals, and product analysts
Contingency-based fees, so you don’t pay unless we win
We’ve built our reputation on doing right by our clients and doing what it takes to get results. If you’ve been injured by a dangerous or defective product, let us help you get the justice and compensation you deserve.
At Herren · Adams, we believe that no one should have to suffer because of a company’s oversight, cost-cutting, or carelessness. So if you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product — whether it was a medication, a tool, or a household item — reach out to our Lexington office today.
