Product Liability

Product liability claims, also known as defective product claims, are filed when defective products cause injuries to people who use them for their intended purpose. A defective product claim can hold any party in the manufacturing or supply chain responsible for you or your loved one's losses.

Companies do not always keep the well-being of their customers in mind when designing and manufacturing a product. When a company creates a defective product, it can cause serious injuries.

In order to recover compensation from a defective product injury, you need to file a product liability claim. Generally, there are three different types of product liability claims that you may be able to file:

• Strict Liability - Strict liability holds a manufacturer responsible for your injuries without having to show that negligence caused the defect in the product.
• Breach of Warranty - If your product had a warranty, verbal, written, or advertised, and the product fails to perform as warranted, then you may be able to file a breach of warranty product liability claim.
• Negligence - A negligence claim can be filed where the product is defectively designed or manufactured or the manufacturer fails to give proper warnings or safety instructions about its use.

Defective products can be both tangible and intangible. Product liability claims include any products that cause injury, such as:

• Baby Seats
• Automobiles
• Tires
• Faulty Airbags
• Medical Devices
• Dangerous Drugs
• Space Heaters
• Strollers
• Appliances
• Industrial Equipment
• Power Tools
• Manufacturing Equipment

If you have suffered an injury from a defective product, you may be able to recover compensation from one of the parties in the chain of manufacturing or distribution. This can include:

• Retailers
• Manufacturers
• Assembling Manufacturers
• Distributors
• Wholesalers

Generally, there are three different types of defects a product can have:

• Design Defects - The product's design causes it to be defective or unsafe. This has nothing to do with how the product is made, assembled, or sold.
• Manufacturing Defect - A defect in the way the product is assembled or created causes injuries. Rather than affecting every product created, manufacturing defects usually only affect a small number of products.
• Marketing Defect - Marketing defects are defects in the product's directions or warnings and can include improper or missing instructions.
