By holding manufacturers accountable for dangerous and defective products, victims and their families receive compensation for their losses and the manufacturers have to pay for their negligence and stop producing the defective product.
- What is product liability? Product liability refers to the liability of a manufacturer, distributor, seller or other party in the chain of distribution for injuries or damage caused by a defective product. Our lawyers have extensive experience with defective product cases.
- Types of defective products: Defective products recalled because they caused death or serious injury in recent years include automobiles, children’s products and toys, household appliances and fixtures, construction job site machinery and home structure materials. When products such as these fail as a result of defective design or manufacturing defects, they can cause catastrophic injuries such as quadriplegia, paraplegia, brain injuries, limb loss and even wrongful death.
- Responsibility for safety: The manufacturers, distributors and sellers are responsible for the safety of their products and for warning consumers of any dangers associated with those products. Products can be defective because of defects in design, defective manufacturing, incorrect or incomplete instructions, or failure to warn of dangers and/or failure to live up to a warranty.
- Strict liability: Product liability is generally considered a strict liability tort. This means that under product liability law, a defendant can be liable when it is shown that the product is defective. It is irrelevant whether the manufacturer or supplier exercised great care in designing or manufacturing the product. If there is a defect in the product that causes harm, the manufacturer or supplier may be found liable for it.
