Product liability law makes manufacturers and sellers legally responsible for injuries caused by defective products.
Liability can arise from design flaws, manufacturing defects, or insufficient warnings about proper use.
Product liability covers injuries caused by unsafe goods sold for consumer use. Liability can apply even if there is no fault by the user.
Common elements include a defect, causation linking the defect to the injury, and damages. The process typically involves investigation, demand letters, negotiations, and possible litigation.
Glossary descriptions of terms such as defect, causation, strict liability, and negligence help you understand how these cases are evaluated.
A defect is a flaw in a product that makes it unsafe or unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
Causation connects the defect to the injury, showing that the injury would not have occurred without the defect.
In many product liability cases, a manufacturer can be held responsible for injuries caused by a defective product regardless of fault.
