Product liability is a field of law that holds sellers and manufacturers responsible for injuries caused by defective goods, whether the defect is in design, production, or labeling.
A successful claim typically involves proving a duty to protect consumers, a breach of that duty through a defect, causation linking the defect to injuries, and damages. The process includes investigation, evidence collection, consultations with qualified professionals, filing a complaint, discovery, negotiation, and, if needed, trial.
This glossary explains common terms used in product liability cases.
A manufacturing defect occurs when a product deviates from its intended design during production, making it unsafe for consumers.
A design defect means the product’s design is inherently dangerous or impractical, even if manufactured correctly.
If warnings or instructions are missing or inadequate, the product can be considered defective.
Under strict liability, a seller can be liable for injuries caused by a defect even without showing negligence; manufacturers may be held responsible under applicable theories.
Potential paths include settlement negotiations, mediation, or filing a product liability lawsuit. Our team explains options and helps you choose the path that aligns with your goals.
If liability is obvious and medical costs are manageable, a quick settlement may be appropriate.
