Jackson, Mississippi Product Liability Lawyers - Defective Product Claims Handled by our Knowledgeable Attorneys

When a defective product injures or harms an individual in some way, the product's manufacturer, designer, or retailer may be held responsible. Product Liability includes many different types of cases. Another way to think of this area of the law is to consider how often each of us has contact with consumer products each day.

Products that we use each day can often times have hidden dangers and defects that could cause substantial injury.

The legal theories involved in this area of the law are:

1. Design defects. Flaws in how a products was designed

2. Manufacturing defects. Identifiable defects or problems which occur during the manufacturing process

3. Defects in marketing. Improper instructions or failure to warn of all dangers.

Examples of Product Liability Actions could be, automobiles and automobile products, Pharmaceuticals (prescription drugs), medical devices, children's toys, asbestos, exploding gas tanks, dangerous baby cribs, and any other injury that results from a consumer or work product.

Product Liability Claims

The product liability lawyers at the Jackson, Mississippi firm of Coxwell & Associates have exceptional experience with defective product claims. Our attorneys are knowledgeable and well-versed in these types of lawsuits, winning several compensatory verdicts for our clients.

Under the product liability statutes of Mississippi, manufacturers have an obligation to ensure that their products are safe for consumers and also have effective warning labels listing any potential risks or problems that may occur as a result of using the product. Because of these rigid guidelines, when a consumer purchases a product, the last thing they tend to worry about is an injury resulting from a defect in that product. However, serious injuries and accidents occur every day due to defects in products like automobiles, children’s toys, machinery, and medications.

There are three common types of defects that can form the basis of a product liability lawsuit. They include:

• Design Defects: A product with flaws in its inherent design may be deemed unsafe.
• Manufacturing Defects: Occurs when the manufacturer of the product fails to adequately follow the design specifications. In this case, the defect in the product itself is enough evidence of negligence.
• Informational Defects: Happens when the product has improper or incomplete labeling. A failure to provide adequate warnings of potential product hazards also classifies as an informational defect.
