Product Liability

Product liability cases arise when a consumer is injured by a product due to a defect in its design, manufacturing, or labeling. In an ideal world, every product would be created with the highest safety standards to protect consumers. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Manufacturers sometimes cut corners, fail to properly test their products, or neglect to warn consumers about potential dangers. This can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities. Whether the product is something as essential as a seatbelt or as specialized as a medical device, the consequences of product defects can be catastrophic.

Types of Product Defects

• Design Defects
  Products are inherently unsafe due to poor design (e.g., unsafe car seatbelts).
• Manufacturing Defects
  Errors during production lead to unsafe products (e.g., faulty tires).
• Failure to Warn
  Products lack adequate safety warnings or instructions (e.g., toxic chemicals in products).

Examples of Product Liability Cases

• Automotive Products
  Faulty airbags or seatbelts.
• Medical Devices & Pharmaceuticals
  Defective implants or dangerous drugs.
• Consumer Goods
  Unsafe kitchen appliances or toys.
• Food & Beverages
  Contaminated or improperly labeled food products.

To succeed, you must prove the product was defective, the defect caused your injury, and that you suffered actual damages. This requires an in-depth investigation, expert testimony, and careful documentation.
