Product liability is a matter of law which holds manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and suppliers accountable for injuries to consumers which are caused by defective products. Types of product liability include the following:
Breach of Warranty: This includes breach of express (stated) warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability (a guarantee that the product will work when used for intended purposes), and breach of implied warranty of fitness (a guarantee that the product will work for a specific purpose).
Negligence: This includes carelessness or disregard on the behalf of a manufacturer in inspection, design or failure to warn of a reasonably foreseeable risk.
Strict Liability: Strict liability holds distributors, manufacturers, or sellers responsible for injuries resulting from defective products regardless of whether or not the injured person did everything in their own power to prevent the defect from occurring.
If you have been injured by a defective product, product liability law outlines certain elements which must be proven:
A defective products attorney will evaluate your case and all supporting evidence to determine the source of the product defect, whether it be manufacturing or design related, or have been caused by failure to warn. In cases of strict liability, only the defect of a product must be proven to support the claim.
Defective product claims can be complicated. There is much information needed to prove the merits of your claim, and you need an attorney who knows the ins and outs of product liability law in your specific state.
