Products Liability Lawsuits

When a person or consumer is injured as a result of a defect in a product, the corporation or company that produced these products should be held accountable for the resulting injuries.

There are generally four basic theories of product liability cases, which serve as the basis for a products liability lawsuit. These include:

  • Defective manufacture – When a product is improperly made or manufactured, and therefore the product departs from its intended design causing an injury
  • Defective design – When a product has a defective in its design such that it causes an injury
  • Defective warnings – Products that can pose a risk to a person’s health or well-being should come with warnings. However, if a product does not come with a warning or the warning is not adequate, a company may be liable for the resulting injuries
  • Failure to conform to representations and warrantees – If a company or manufacturer represents that their product is safe for a certain usage, then anyone who suffers an injury because of that product may have a products liability claim
