Product Liability · South Carolina
South Carolina Product
Liability Attorney
Defective products cause catastrophic, life-altering injuries every day. When a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer puts a dangerous product in your hands, O’Reilly Law Firm holds them fully accountable.
Product liability law allows injury victims to pursue claims against everyone in the supply chain — the manufacturer, the distributor, and the retailer — when a defective product causes harm. These cases cover design defects, manufacturing defects, and failures to warn about known dangers.
We handle product liability cases involving defective vehicles and auto parts, dangerous medical devices, defective industrial equipment, unsafe consumer products, toxic exposure, and any other situation where a product’s defect caused serious injury. These cases often involve going against large corporations with significant legal resources.
O’Reilly Law Firm prepares every product liability case like it is going to trial — because that preparation is what forces settlements. We retain expert witnesses, hire engineers and medical professionals, and build cases designed to prove exactly what went wrong and why the company is responsible. Call (843) 790-8771 for a free consultation.

Common Questions
Who can be held liable in a product liability case?
Multiple parties can be held liable — the manufacturer who designed or built the defective product, distributors who handled it, and retailers who sold it. South Carolina law allows claims against the entire supply chain.
What types of defects give rise to a product liability claim?
There are three main categories: design defects (the product was inherently dangerous as designed), manufacturing defects (something went wrong during production), and failure to warn (the product lacked adequate safety instructions or warnings).
How long do I have to file a product liability claim in South Carolina?
Generally three years from the date of injury, but some claims involving latent defects have different rules. It is important to act quickly to preserve evidence and document the defective product.
What if the product was recalled after I was injured?
A recall can be powerful evidence that the manufacturer knew about the defect. It does not bar your claim — in fact it may strengthen it. Contact us regardless of whether a recall has been announced.
