Product Liability

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 product 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.
