I was injured by a product that slashed my wrist because there was no guard across the blade. What types of legal theories does a defective product attorney use to sue a manufacturer or distributor?

The most common theories in defective product cases are breach of warranty (it can be an express warranty that was written, an oral warranty, or an implied warranty by law).  Some states have another theory that is called strict liability, but not every state follows that rule so talk to one of our defective product lawyers for advice.
