Product Liability
There are usually three types of product liability cases:
- Products that have been defectively designed;
- Products that have been defectively manufactured;
- And products that contain no or inadequate warnings.
Common Defective Product Questions
Yes, a product may be defective because it lacks an adequate warning about its potential dangers. A product can be very dangerous and yet the manufacturer of the product, despite knowing of the product dangers, failed to warn potential users of those dangers. Sometimes, manufacturers hide and try to cover up the dangers of a product.
An investigation will have to be performed to determine if you have a defective product claim for your injuries. We will conduct an investigation to determine if you have a case.
Any type of defective product can cause you personal injury. Read below to see some examples of products or situations that can involve personal injuries caused by defective products.
The manufacturer, the distributor, and the seller or retailer of the defective product can be held liable under the law for personal injury caused by a defective product. A retailer, even if it did not make the product and only sold the defective product, can be held liable for the sale of a dangerously defective product. A retailer has a responsibility to sell safe products. Once the retailer sells a dangerous product, it can be responsible for what it puts into the marketplace and a consumer’s hands.
If you or a family member or friend were injured by a product, saving the product and its packaging will help your lawyer investigate a product liability case. However, a product may have been destroyed or substantially damaged in the accident that caused your injury, and that’s okay. Try to save what you can of the product and let us handle the rest.
Children Injured by Defective Products
Children are naturally curious and active and want to play with all kinds of things located within the home. Manufacturers of children’s products know this when they design products meant to be around a child. Many products are dangerous for children to be around. Examples include children’s furniture and various parts of toys, such as small batteries for children’s toys. Children obviously do not understand the dangers associated with products that they are likely to come into contact with every day.
