YOU'VE BEEN INJURED FROM A PRODUCT. WHAT NOW?
DOCUMENT YOUR CASE
Detail all aspects of the incident, such as when and where it occurred, how the product was used, and any factors that might have led to the product's failure. If possible, take pictures of the faulty product and the injuries it caused. Keep a record of your injuries, any medical treatment you've received, and any costs related to your injury.
CONTACT A PRODUCT LIABILITY ATTORNEY
Your attorney will gather additional evidence, such as the product's manufacturing details, previous complaints or recalls, and expert testimonies, to build a case that shows the manufacturer's negligence.
INVESTIGATION AND CASE PREPARATION
Your lawyer will submit your product liability claim to the appropriate court. Once it's filed, the legal process starts, and your lawyer will be there to represent your best interests.
FILING YOUR PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIM
Your lawyer will negotiate with the opposing party, usually the manufacturer or insurance company, to try and agree on a fair settlement. If a fair agreement cannot be reached, your case will go to court, where your attorney will present your case before a judge.

THE BASICS OF PRODUCT LIABILITY
Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers, distributors, sellers, and others in the supply chain responsible for injuries caused by defective products. If you use a product in a normal, reasonable way, and it turns out to be unsafe and causes harm, you may be entitled to compensation.
TYPES OF PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS
Product liability claims can arise from various defects or safety issues with a product. Here are some common types of defective product issues that may lead to liability claims:
- Design defects: These occur when the inherent design of a product makes it unreasonably dangerous, even if manufactured perfectly. An example could be a toy with small parts that are easily detached, posing a choking hazard to the young children the product is intended for.
- Manufacturing defects: These happen when a product deviates from its intended design during the manufacturing process, causing it to be unsafe. Imagine an appliance with faulty wiring that could lead to electrical shock.
- Failure to warn: Manufacturers have a legal obligation to warn consumers about potential hazards associated with proper product use, as well as foreseeable misuse. For instance, inadequate warnings on medications or cleaning products could be grounds for a claim.
- Breach of warranty: This occurs when a product fails to live up to the expressed or implied warranties made by the manufacturer or seller.
LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS
To successfully obtain compensation for your injury, you need a strong claim with solid legal backing. There are two main legal grounds for product liability claims: strict liability and negligence.
- Strict liability: This legal principle holds manufacturers strictly liable for injuries caused by defective products, regardless of whether they were negligent in the design or manufacturing process. If a product is defective and causes harm, the manufacturer can be held responsible for damages, even if they took all reasonable precautions. This makes it easier for plaintiffs to win product liability cases.
- Negligence: Under negligence law, a claim can be made if the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer failed to exercise reasonable care in producing, selling, or distributing the product, and this failure resulted in your injury. Here, proving the defendant’s negligence is crucial.
The bottom line is that manufacturers whose products cause harm are responsible for that harm. It doesn’t matter if they behaved reasonably or not–what matters is the damage their products have caused.
