Product liability is the legal responsibility of manufacturers and sellers for injuries caused by unsafe or defective products.
A successful product liability case typically requires proving defect, causation, and damages, along with proper notice and timely filing. The process often includes investigation, discovery, settlement negotiations, and, if needed, litigation.
This glossary explains common terms used in product liability cases, helping you understand the language of your claim.
A defect is a flaw in a product that makes it unsafe or unfit for its intended use.
A design defect exists when the product is inherently dangerous due to its design, even if manufactured correctly.
A manufacturing defect occurs during production and results in a product that deviates from its intended design.
Failure to warn means the product lacked adequate instructions or safety warnings that would prevent harm to users.
You may pursue a recall, a settlement, or a civil lawsuit. Each option has different timelines, costs, and potential outcomes, and an attorney can help you choose wisely.
In some cases, a negotiated settlement with the manufacturer is practical and faster, avoiding lengthy court proceedings.
If liability is clear and damages are well-documented, a targeted settlement can be a sensible option.
A thorough investigation, discovery, and expert opinions help build a stronger case and maximize recovery.
An experienced team handles settlements, motions, and, if needed, trials to protect your rights.
