If I modified a product and then was injured, would I still have a case?

 

A: Modifying a product can certainly change the outcome of a personal injury case.  If you modified the product such that the changes made contributed to your injury, it could reduce or eliminate your recovery.  If proven that the modification did NOT have an effect on your injury, it may not hurt your case.  Contact a personal injury attorney to discuss the specific circumstances surrounding your situation.
