A defective product injury claim arises when a consumer is harmed by a product that is unreasonably dangerous because of its design, production, or failure to provide adequate warnings.
Elements include proving the defect, establishing a causal link to the injury, and showing damages. The process involves investigation, evidence gathering, and progressed steps such as negotiation or litigation.
