Product liability covers injuries caused by design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings about a product’s risks.
These claims often involve complex facts and require careful documentation of what happened, who was affected, and how the product caused harm.
Under product liability theory, manufacturers and sellers may be held responsible when a product is defective and that defect leads to injury. The core idea is that the product failed in a way that makes it unsafe for its intended use.
To prove a defective product claim, you typically show a defect, causation linking the defect to your injury, and actual damages. The process includes evidence gathering, demand letters, negotiations, and, if needed, a lawsuit.
