Liability may involve the manufacturer, retailer, distributor, and others in the chain of supply depending on the defect type.
A defective product is one that fails to function safely due to design flaws, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings.
Proving defect, causation, and damages is essential; the process includes investigation, collecting records, consulting professionals, negotiations, and if needed litigation.
This glossary defines terms commonly used in product liability cases and explains how they apply to your claim.
