How do I know if I have a product liability case?
You may have a product liability case if you were injured by a defective or dangerous product while using it as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way. Product liability claims generally fall into three categories: design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn. A design defect occurs when the product is inherently unsafe, even when manufactured correctly. Manufacturing defects happen when something goes wrong during production, making the product dangerous. Failure to warn claims involves inadequate instructions or missing warnings about potential risks.
To determine if you have a case, consider whether the product caused your injury directly and if you sustained measurable damages, such as medical expenses or lost wages. Preserve the product in its current condition and gather any receipts, packaging, or instruction manuals. Document your injuries and seek immediate medical attention. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we can review the details of your situation, investigate the product, and determine if the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be liable.
Who can be held responsible in a product liability case?
In a product liability case, several parties involved in the chain of distribution may be held responsible for your injuries. Typically, this includes the manufacturer, which is often the primary liable party because they design and produce the product. If a defect occurs during the manufacturing process, the company that assembled or fabricated the product can also be held accountable.
Distributors and wholesalers may also share liability, as they play a role in delivering the defective product to the consumer. Additionally, the retailer who sold the product to you could be held responsible, especially if they continued selling a dangerous product after being warned of potential risks. In some cases, third-party companies involAved in maintenance, repair, or parts supply may also be liable if their actions contributed to the defect.
At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we thoroughly investigate every aspect of your claim to identify all responsible parties.
What types of defects can lead to a product liability claim?
Product liability claims typically arise from three main types of defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects (failure to warn).
A design defect occurs when the product is inherently unsafe due to its design, even if it was manufactured and assembled correctly. For example, a vehicle with a flawed braking system design poses risks to all users.
A manufacturing defect occurs during the production or assembly process, making an otherwise safe design dangerous. This could include a batch of medications contaminated during manufacturing or a car with improperly installed airbags.
Marketing defects, or failure to warn, involve inadequate instructions, missing warnings, or misleading safety information. If a product poses risks that are not obvious to the user and the manufacturer fails to provide proper warnings, it may lead to injury. Examples include appliances lacking safety instructions or medications without clear side effect warnings.
