After being injured by a product

Whether you are injured by a product in the home or at work, do not throw it away. It is probably the best piece of evidence to support your case. Your product liaiblity attorney will use that evidence to isolate the issue and investigate if the defect is a widespread problem. Working with experts, your attorney will be able to assess the matter and give you advice on how to proceed.

Types of product liability cases

The most common product liability cases are broken down into 3 main categories; Design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn.

• Design defect: A design defect involves the planning of the product. When designing a product, it is important to take safety into consideration. When a product injures a person and that factor could have been avoided if the designer had picked an equally practical solution, it could be a case for negligence.
• Manufacturer’s defect: When the design is sound, but the manufacturer deviates from the plan to cut corners in production, it could be a case for product liability if that deviation leads to injury.
• Failure to warn: Obviously, some products are inherently dangerous by nature. Warning labels and proper instructions are key to preventing injury. While some people choose to dismiss some of these safeguards, it is important for the manufacturer to provide them. Otherwise, injury caused by an inadequately labeled product can be a case for product liability.
