Manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and any other businesses which make products available to the public all share a specific duty: they must not provide unreasonably unsafe products that can injure consumers.
Unfortunately, many companies fall short of fulfilling that duty. Consumers can die or become injured as a result of this neglect and may incur losses such as medical expenses, permanent disability, loss of enjoyment of life, lost wages, mental anguish, and pain and suffering. In some circumstances, a company’s negligence in providing a defective product is so egregious that it is ordered to pay punitive damages.

Frequently Asked Questions: Product Liability
What is product liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and sellers for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. If a product has a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or lacks proper warnings, those involved in its production and distribution may be held liable for resulting injuries. Consult with a product liability attorney to assess your case and pursue compensation.
What types of defects can lead to a product liability claim?
Product liability claims can arise from design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects. Design defects occur before manufacturing and are inherent in the product. Manufacturing defects occur during the production process, making some units different from others. Marketing defects involve improper labeling, inadequate instructions, or failure to warn consumers about potential risks. If you believe a defect caused your injury, consult with a product liability attorney.
How can I prove a product liability claim?
Proving a product liability claim typically involves demonstrating that the product was defective, the defect caused your injury, and you were using the product as intended. Gathering evidence such as medical records, product documentation, and witness statements is crucial. An experienced product liability attorney can guide you through the legal process, help build a strong case, and pursue compensation for your injuries.
