What is Product Liability?

Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for injuries caused by defective or unsafe products. When a product fails to meet safety standards or is inherently dangerous, it can lead to significant harm to consumers. Product liability claims can address issues ranging from design flaws to manufacturing defects and inadequate warnings or instructions. The goal of these claims is to ensure that victims receive justice and are compensated for their injuries and damages.

Types of Product Defects

Product liability cases can involve several types of defects:

• Design Defects: Flaws in the design of a product that make it inherently unsafe or unfit for its intended use. These defects are present before the product is manufactured and affect all units of the product.
• Manufacturing Defects: Errors that occur during the production or assembly of a product, resulting in defects in some units of the product. These defects can arise from poor quality control or mistakes during the manufacturing process.
• Marketing Defects: Failures to provide adequate warnings or instructions about the proper use of a product. This includes misleading labels or a lack of safety warnings that could prevent misuse or harm.

Common Product Liability Cases

At Shannon Litvin Law Office, we handle a wide range of product liability cases, including:

• Defective Consumer Goods: Products such as appliances, toys, and electronics that cause injury due to design or manufacturing flaws.
• Dangerous Pharmaceuticals: Prescription or over-the-counter medications that cause harm due to side effects, improper labeling, or inadequate warnings.
• Faulty Automotive Parts: Vehicle components like brakes, airbags, or tires that fail and lead to accidents or injuries.
• Contaminated Food Products: Food items that cause illness or injury due to contamination or unsafe processing practices.
• Unsafe Medical Devices: Medical equipment such as implants or surgical tools that cause harm due to defects or improper design.

What to Do If You’ve Been Injured by a Defective Product

If you have been harmed by a defective or dangerous product, taking the following steps can help support your product liability claim:

1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health and safety are the top priority. Get medical care as soon as possible and keep records of your injuries and treatments.
2. Preserve the Product: Keep the defective product in its original condition, if possible. Do not discard it, as it may be crucial evidence in your case.
3. Document Your Injury: Take photos of your injuries and the product, and gather any relevant documents, including medical records and receipts.
4. Report the Issue: Notify the manufacturer or retailer about the defect and your injury. This can be important for your claim and may help prevent further incidents.
5. Consult an Attorney: Contact a knowledgeable product liability attorney to review your case and discuss your legal options.
