Every day we make decisions about the products we buy for ourselves and our families. From baby formula to pesticides, clothes to toothpaste, a staggering number of items touch us…at home, at work and even in our malls. It’s easy to trust that their manufacturers have taken the time and made the effort to get it right…or have they?<\/h3>\n

What is Product Liability Law?<\/h3>\n

Product liability law is an area of law that holds sellers and manufacturers of products accountable for injuries or damages caused by their products. This includes any type of product, from everyday household items to complex machinery.<\/p>\n

There are three main types of product liability claims: design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn.<\/p>\n

Design defects<\/strong> occur when there is a problem with the design of the product, making it unreasonably dangerous for consumers. For example, if a table saw is designed in such a way that it is very easy for a user to lose a finger, this would be considered a design defect.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing defects<\/strong> happen when there is something wrong with the way the product was made, even though the design may be fine. An example would be if there was a problem with the assembly line and screws were left out of a table saw, making it dangerous to use.<\/p>\n

Finally, failure to warn<\/strong> claims arise when a product fails to come with adequate warning labels or instructions about potential risks associated with using the product. For example, if a power drill does not come with warnings about the possibility of serious injury if used improperly, this could be considered a failure to warn claim.<\/p>\n

If you have been injured by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. An experienced product liability attorney can help you investigate your claim and fight for the justice you deserve.<\/p>\n

False Advertising Claims<\/h3>\n

A marketing defect occurs when there is a problem with the way a product is marketed, such as misleading advertising or failing to warn consumers about potential dangers associated with using the product.<\/p>\n

For example, if a medication is incorrectly labelled and someone takes too much of it as a result, the company could be held liable for any injuries that occur. Marketing defects can also include things like providing insufficient instructions on how to use a product safely.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ text_font=”Work Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”2em” header_3_font=”Work Sans|600||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#252b3a” header_3_font_size=”12px” header_3_letter_spacing=”1.5px” header_3_line_height=”2em” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Legal Elements in a Product Liability Case<\/h3>\n

There are three main legal elements in a product liability case: duty, breach, and causation. The duty is the obligation that the manufacturer or seller owed to the consumer. The breach is the failure of the manufacturer or seller to meet that obligation. Causation is the link between the breach and the injury suffered by the consumer.<\/p>\n

To win a product liability case, a plaintiff must prove all three elements. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff, and each element must be proven by a preponderance of the evidence. This means that it is more likely than not that the element is true.<\/p>\n

A product liability case can be complex, and it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side who can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights. If you have been injured by a defective product, contact a trusted personal injury attorney today to discuss your options and take action against those responsible.<\/p>\n

How Can a Trusted Attorney Help You if You’re a Victim of a Product Liability Case?<\/h3>\n

Product liability is the area of law that deals with protecting consumers from injuries caused by defective products. Products can be defective in a number of ways, including being defectively designed, manufactured, or labelled. If you have been injured by a defective product, you may be able to file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of the product.<\/p>\n

A trusted attorney can help you determine whether you have a valid product liability claim and can guide you through the process of filing a lawsuit. An experienced product liability attorney will also be familiar with the defences that manufacturers and other businesses may raise in these cases and can help you build a strong case against them.<\/p>\n
