What is Product Liability?
If you or a loved was injured as a result of a faulty, defective, or poorly manufactured produced, you may have a product liability claim. Products that fail to live up to their claims about performance, effectiveness, or general use, may be subjects of product liability claims. In a product liability claim, an injured person may seek to recover damages for any injuries that they have sustained as a result. If you are injured by a faulty product you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
What are the elements of a product liability case?
When a plaintiff files a product liability case, there may be a number of different elements to that case. Some of those elements can include:
- Negligence. If a plaintiff alleges that the defendant was negligent, this can mean that the manufacturer was negligent in in designing or creating the product, which led to the injury
- Breach of warranty. If a defendant asserts that a product should work a type of way and that that product fails and causes an injury, this can be a reason for a breach of warranty claim.
- Strict liability. This theory focuses on how the product is dangerous without having to prove that the manufacturer was negligent.
