Types of Product Liability

Product liability refers to the broad area of law allowing for individuals who have suffered as a result of defective products to be given just compensation for their injuries.  This covers various types of negligence in the production and marketing process.

Sellers and distributors are required to offer products of reasonably safe design.  This includes avoiding or reducing a foreseeable risk by using alternative design if necessary.  A manufacturing flaw refers to a fault that originates in the assembly of the product.  A marketing flaw refers to the way the product was marketed, such as insufficient or erroneous instructions, inadequate labeling or improper safety warnings.  Even where sellers and manufacturers have exercised all possible care in these various areas though, a liability may still exist where an unsafe product is sold.

Product liability does not only refer to consumer or manufacturing products.  It may also refer to instruments, cars, medicine and drugs (e.g. prescription and non-prescription drugs), toys and recreational equipment, food and a wide range of other product categories.  Let the knowledgeable legal team at the firm work towards obtaining the compensation you deserve when injured by a defective product.
