Product Liability Lawyer
Start Your Product Liability Lawsuit
Designers, manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of products have a legal responsibility to ensure that their product is safe and free of potentially harmful defects. In the event that a defective product causes an injury or death to an individual, it may be possible to file a product liability claim against all liable parties. Under the "strict liability" theory of law, it is not necessary to prove negligence in a product liability lawsuit.
In a product liability lawsuit, the actions of the defendant are not taken into consideration; rather, the court decides whether the plaintiff's injuries were caused by a product defect. If it can be shown that a product is defective, the plaintiff was injured, and the plaintiff's injuries were caused by the defective product, the defendant is automatically liable.

View on GoogleProduct Liability Examples
Almost any commercially available product can be defective, but some of the more common types of product defects include dangerous over-the-counter and prescription drugs, medical devices, defective car parts and accessories, household cleaning items, baby products, toys, furniture, and food products.
These are the three classes of defects we can sue for:
Design Defects
A design flaw is a defect that occurred during the conception of a product, making it inherently dangerous for consumers. An example is a poorly designed infant car seat that provides inadequate support in the event of a car accident.
Manufacturing Defects
A safely designed product can become defective if it suffers from manufacturing errors during creation. An example of a manufacturing defect is pool heater that was poorly produced, causing it to unleash lethal amounts of carbon dioxide.
Marketing Defects
Many products carry some level of stated risk for users. If the manufacturer fails to properly warn of this risk, they have committed a marketing defect. An example would be a medication that causes drowsiness but doesn't clearly state this on its label.
It may be possible to file a "failure to warn" claim even if the consumer was using the product incorrectly at the time of injury, so long as the use was something the manufacturer or designer should have foreseen.
