Product Liability

Many personal injury cases require a plaintiff to allege and prove that a defendant was negligent and caused injury to the plaintiff. However, in certain cases such as product liability, a plaintiff does not have to prove the defendant was negligent.

These cases proceed under a theory of strict liability meaning it does not matter if the defendant was negligent. What matters is if that defendant sold an unreasonably dangerous product.

Common categories of these types of claims are:

• Manufacturing Defects – defects that occur while the product is actually being manufactured and in that process
• Design defects – when products contain flaws in the item’s conceptual design
• Warning Label and Caution Defects – failing to provide adequate warning labels and cautions to consumers
• Marketing Defects – such as failing to provide proper instructions or failing to inform consumers of the potential and latent dangers in the product
