Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers responsible for injuries caused by unsafe or defective products.
Claims can involve design defects, manufacturing flaws, or failure to provide adequate warnings and safety information.
A product liability claim asserts that a defective product caused harm, with liability potentially arising from the designer, maker, or seller, depending on the defect and role in the supply chain.
To prevail, a plaintiff must prove duty of care, breach, causation, and damages. The path typically includes evidence gathering, expert input, negotiation, and, if necessary, litigation.
