Personal Injury - General Negligence

Product liability is the legal responsibility of a manufacturer or seller to compensate consumers for injury caused by defective products. It is important to note that product liability does not cover injuries caused by normal wear and tear or accidents.

There are three main types of product liability claims: manufacturing defects, design defects, and failure to warn.

Manufacturing defects occur when something is wrong with how the product was made. This could be a flaw in the materials used, a mistake in the assembly process, or something else that makes the product unsafe.

A design defect occurs when there is something wrong with the product itself. This could be a dangerous design flaw that makes the product more likely to cause injury or an issue with the labeling or instructions that makes it more likely to be misused.

A failure to warn occurs when the manufacturer or seller fails to provide adequate warnings about the risks associated with a product. This could be a failure to warn about a known danger or a failure to properly label a product so that consumers are aware of its risks.

Product liability claims can be complex and difficult to prove. An attorney can help you investigate the facts of your case and determine whether you have a valid claim against the manufacturer or seller of the defective product.

If a defective product has injured you, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and other damages. Contact an experienced product liability attorney today to discuss your case.
