Product liability covers injuries caused by manufacturing defects, design flaws, or failure to warn about hazards.
If you or a loved one has been harmed by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Product liability places responsibility on manufacturers and sellers for injuries caused by defective products that reach consumers.
A successful product liability claim typically requires proving defect, causation, and damages, followed by investigation, demand letters, negotiations, and, if necessary, litigation.
Key terms include defect, causation, liability, strict liability, and warranty, explained below.
A manufacturing defect occurs when a product that left the manufacturer’s control differs from its intended design and is unreasonably dangerous.
A design defect exists in the product’s blueprint or specifications, making the risk inherent even if produced correctly.
Failure to warn means that adequate safety information or instructions were not provided to the consumer, increasing the risk of harm.
Liability for product injuries can include medical expenses, lost income, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.

Liability can extend to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers depending on the defect and who failed to warn. A thorough evaluation helps identify all responsible parties.
