Products Liability

When a manufacturer sells a product to the public, the manufacturer warrants to the public that the product is safe and that it will perform as expected. When that product injures someone and fails to perform to the expectations of the public, the manufacturer can be held liable for the damages that are caused by this defective product. A product may be defective because it was designed in such a way as to be unreasonably dangerous to the public because it was manufactured incorrectly, or because there were inadequate warnings or instructions on how to operate or use the product. The manufacturer, parts supplier, or even the retailer of a particular product may be held responsible for the injuries that are caused by a defective product that they manufacture, produce, design, or sell.

There are many products that are dangerous to the user but are still sold in mass quantities, including:

• Automobiles
• Children’s toys
• Pharmaceuticals
• Household appliances
• Medical devices
• Electronic devices
• Planes
• Asbestos
• Farm equipment

There are three categories for product liability cases:

• Defective design
• Manufacturer defect
• Marketing defect (failure to warn of possible hazards)

Defective products may cause a variety of physical injuries such as burns, scars, disfigurement, bone fractures, head and brain injuries, and blindness. The medical treatments for these injuries may be expensive for the victim. You may be able to recover monetary compensation for your injuries, as well as pain and suffering, loss of wages, and other accident-related expenses.
