Product liability covers injuries caused by defective design, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings about product risks.
If you have been injured by a product, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages.
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and sellers for injuries caused by defective products.
The core elements typically include a duty to protect consumers, a defect that makes the product unsafe, causation linking the defect to injuries, and damages. The process involves investigation, evidence gathering, potential settlement discussions, and, if needed, court litigation.
Below is a glossary of common terms used in product liability cases to help you understand the process.
A flaw in a product’s design, manufacture, or labeling that makes it unsafe for its intended use.
A manufacturing defect occurs during production, causing a product to differ from its intended design and safety standards.
A design defect exists when the product’s design inherently creates unreasonable risk, even when manufactured correctly.
Under strict liability, a manufacturer may be held liable for injuries caused by a defective product regardless of fault or negligence.
