Hair care is an essential part of personal grooming, particularly for African American women, who often use a variety of products to maintain and style their hair. Unfortunately, some hair products can cause serious injuries due to defects or harmful ingredients. If you’ve suffered from a defective hair product, it’s important to understand your legal rights and options. This comprehensive guide by T. Madden & Associates, P.C., a personal injury law firm in Greater Atlanta, will cover everything you need to know, from the types of injuries to the laws protecting consumers, and how to build a strong case.

To build a strong personal injury case due to a defective hair product, several key elements must be established:
You must prove that the manufacturer or seller owed you a duty of care. In product liability cases, this duty is generally assumed, as manufacturers are expected to produce and sell safe products.
You must demonstrate that the manufacturer or seller breached this duty by producing or selling a defective product. This can involve showing that the product was unsafe due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings.
You must establish a direct link between the breach of duty and your injuries. This involves proving that the defective product caused your injuries, rather than some other factor.
You must prove that you suffered actual damages as a result of using the defective product. This can include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
