Product liability laws vary from state to state but the basic premises of many product liability claims include one or more of the following: negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, consumer protection claims. Only a lawyer who is licensed to practice in the state where your injury occurred is qualified to give legal advice and the information provided here should not be misconstrued as such. The following is a brief overview of the four basic product liability claims:

Negligence

A negligence claim requires the plaintiff to demonstrate that they did in fact get injured by a product; and one or more party that was involved in the design, manufacturing, production, distribution, or sales of the faulty product, was negligent in their responsibility to ensure the safety of the product’s consumers.

Strict Liability

A strict liability claim focuses on the product itself. A manufacturer can be held legally liable for a defective product even if none of the parties involved in making a defective product available to the public are guilty of negligence or recklessness.

Breach of Warranty

A breach of warranty claim refers to the failure of marketing, or to a seller’s claims to fulfill the terms of a promise, claim or representation that is made concerning the quality or type of the product that was sold to the injured consumer. When a seller cannot stand behind their warranty claims, it is considered a breach of warranty.

Consumer Protection Claims

Many states have enacted their own consumer protection statutes to try to protect consumers from merchants that may commit deceptive and unfair practices.
