Product Liability

Product Liability

Product liability cases typically revolve around you guessed it, a product. This includes everything from airplanes to lawn mowers. When you buy a product you expect it to be safe. However, some products contain a faulty design or fail to warn customers of certain risks leading to injury. Most product liability cases fall into three categories:

1. Design defects = there is an inherent defect in the products design or function that causes a serious risk to the safety of the customer.
2. Manufacturing defects = the design of the product may be safe, but the product itself is dangerous because an error was made during its manufacturing.
3. Marketing defects = “failure to warn.” Companies must warn consumers of the risk involved when using their products to avoid danger.

Just like every product is different, each case is different. Regardless, you need to involve a lawyer as soon as possible who can advise you on if you have a claim related to a product. You also might not be the only one who has suffered. Either way, a competent lawyer can get you on the road to recovery by getting the answers and compensation you need.
