Question 1

What should I do if I was hurt by a defective product?

Seek medical attention, keep the product and its packaging, and save receipts, photos, and any instructions or warnings. Do not alter or discard the item. This evidence is critical, and an attorney can help you identify who is responsible and pursue compensation.

Like other personal injury claims, product liability cases in Puerto Rico are generally subject to a one-year statute of limitations from the date of injury or its discovery. Because preserving evidence and meeting deadlines is essential, you should consult an attorney as soon as possible.
