Understanding Some Common Product Liability Claims
Product liability claims can arise from various scenarios, all revolving around defective products that cause harm. Some examples of product liability claims that I regularly handle include:
- Manufacturing defects: A flaw in the manufacturing process, resulting in a product that deviates from its intended design.
- Design defects: When a product has a design that makes it dangerous, no matter how someone uses it.
- Failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions: Products that lack proper warnings about potential risks or instructions for safe use.
- Breach of warranty: Products that fail to meet the terms of its express or implied warranty.
Even if you did not purchase the product directly, you might still have a valid claim for injuries caused by a defective product. You should always explore your legal options, as the responsibility for a safe product extends beyond the point of sale. The law recognizes that anyone injured by a dangerous or defective product has the right to seek compensation, whether or not they purchased the product.
Strict Liability: What To Know
One term that you should know about is strict liability. In product liability cases, it means that you can hold a manufacturer or seller responsible for a defective product, regardless of negligence. Strict liability is particularly important because it shifts the focus from the actions of the consumer to the safety of the product itself. This legal principle ensures that manufacturers and sellers are accountable for the safety of their products, offering protection to consumers who suffer injuries due to defects.
What Should I Do If I’m Injured By A Defective Product?
If you find yourself injured by a defective product, taking certain steps can strengthen your claim. Begin by ensuring your safety and health. Your well-being is the top priority, and addressing any injuries promptly can also serve as critical documentation for your case. You should:
- Seek medical attention immediately
- Preserve the product in its current state
- Gather any documentation related to the product, including receipts, warranties and manuals
- Take photographs of your injuries and the product
- Report the incident to the manufacturer or retailer
- Contact a product liability lawyer
Remember, time is of the essence when making a product liability claim. Acting swiftly can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. By following these steps, you lay a strong foundation for your claim.
