Injured by a Defective Product: Understanding Product Liability

Dangerous or defective products are one of the leading causes of injuries in the U.S. every year.

If you have sustained injuries due to a product, you may be eligible to file a product liability lawsuit and get compensation.

Types of Product Liability

Not every product injury will be eligible for damages. You need to prove that the product was unreasonably dangerous due to:

•  Design defects, which were present even before the product was manufactured.

•  Manufacturing defects. These can occur during the manufacturing or assembly process.

•  Marketing defects, such as inadequate safety warnings, incorrect labeling, or insufficient user instructions. 

•  Breach of warranty, where the product does not meet the quality and reliability standards as advertised by the seller.

Who Is Responsible in Product Liability Cases?

Liability rests with all parties along the product distribution chain, including:

•  The product and/or component manufacturer

•  Any party responsible for the installation or assembly of the product

•  The wholesaler

•  The retail store where the product was sold

Who Is Eligible to File a Product Liability Lawsuit?

There is a misconception that only a person who bought the product may recover damages for personal injury. That is not true. Anyone who could have suffered foreseeable injuries as a result of the defect can file a claim – as long as the product had been sold to someone.
