What is Product Liability?

If you bought a product, anything tangible, not including services or real estate, and suffered an injury, you may have a product liability claim. This could be due to a malfunction, inadequate safety warnings, or other issues with the product.

Product liability law protects consumers from dangerous or defective products. These are products that fail due to:

• Design defects that make the product inherently unsafe.
• Manufacturing defects from assembly or production.
• Marketing defects, like missing warnings or improper usage instructions.

Who Can Be Held Responsible in Product Liability Cases? 

Several entities in the supply chain may be liable for a defective product, including:

• Product Manufacturers: Product manufacturers can be held liable because they are directly involved in designing, producing, and assembling the product, ensuring it meets safety standards.
• Product Designers: Designers or engineers are tasked with creating a safe and functional product. They can be held responsible if a flaw in the product’s design leads to hazards or injuries.
• Product Distributors: Distributors and wholesalers can be held responsible for product liability if they knowingly distribute defective or dangerous products to retailers or customers.
• Retailers: Retailers can be held responsible for product liability if they sell defective products to consumers, even if they did not manufacture or design the product themselves. Law leaves no stone unturned. We meticulously document every loss to build a powerful case for the maximum compensation possible.
