Product Liability

Product liability is the area of law in which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products and goods available to the public, are held responsible for injuries and illness that are caused by the products or goods. The words “products” and “goods” traditionally refer to products and goods that are tangible, personal property.

When a person is injured or becomes ill because of something they purchased, they may have a product liability claim that is worth fighting for compensation for. If a victim of a product injury decided to try to seek compensation in a lawsuit, they would be the plaintiff in the case while one or more parties that helped to make the product available to consumers would be the defendant/s.

The claims that are most commonly associated with product liability in the U.S. are negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, and various consumer protection claims. Each kind of these different claims requires different aspects to be proven in order to win a products liability, or product injury, case. The bulk of product liability laws are determined at the state level and vary from state to state.

Negligence

Of the aforementioned product liability claims, some form of manufacturer negligence is the most common legal theory that gets disputed in U.S. courts. When a plaintiff (often with the help of a lawyer) claims that a party that was part of the manufacturing or distribution process did not fulfill their legal duty to protect consumers, it is a claim of negligence. In order to prove negligence, it must be proven that the defendant or defendants failed to use a reasonable standard of care in designing, manufacturing, producing and in some cases, selling a product; and that their failure to meet an industry’s acceptable level of care is how/why a person got injured.

Damages

Damages that are typically rewarded in product injury lawsuits include but are not limited to:
– Medical expenses
– Physical injuries
– Disfigurement
– Mental/emotional distress
– Pain and suffering
– Loss of income
