Product Liability Claims

If you are injured by a product, you should consider your legal options. There are three types of product liability claims; design defect, manufacturer defect, and failure to warn.

• A design defect is when a product’s design is at fault for your injury. To establish a valid design defect case, you need to prove that your injury is serious and avoidable if the product had another design that would have been safer, economically feasible, and just as practical. Proving this type of liability takes a lot of investigation and corroboration with experts in the field of product liability.
• A manufacturer’s defect case is when a product is made differently than originally intended. Products often come with a design blueprint to explain how to properly manufacture it. Sometimes, a company will deviate from the intended design to cut costs. When this leads to injury, the victim may be able to establish a valid product liability claim.
• Failure to warn injuries occur when a company fails to include specific instructions on how to safely use the product or warnings regarding what can happen if the product is used incorrectly.
