Determining Liability for a Defective Product
Individuals can be harmed or killed by products in a number of ways. Even if a product was properly designed it may not have been manufactured according to the design specifications. In addition, some products are made with dangerous parts or ingredients such as lead paint, unsafe drugs, or faulty wiring.
When a person is injured by a dangerous or defective product the manufacturer or seller of the item will commonly try to shift blame to other companies or the individual. It is crucial that a person injured by a dangerous product retain a products liability attorney as soon as possible so that a proper investigation can be performed to identify the dangerous and unsafe part and determine the responsible party.
Types of Defective Product Liability Claims
Defective product liability cases fall into three categories of product liability: (1) defective manufacture; (2) defective design; or (3) failure to provide proper warnings or instructions regarding the use of the product itself.
Three Types of Product Liability Claims
- Defective Manufacturing: A defectively manufactured product contains flaws derived from an error that occurred in the process of making it, such as an issue at the factory where it was created. As a result of that error, the product caused harm to the customer. However, manufacturing errors affect only some of the defective products, as opposed to the entire batch.
- Defective Design: On the other hand, defective design claims do not derive from some mistake in the manufacturing process. Instead, the inherent flaw in the design could affect the entire line of products, making them inherently dangerous despite the fact that it was perfectly made according to manufacturing standards. This type of defective product liability claim typically involves defective car parts.
- Failure to Provide Adequate Warnings & Instructions: Failure-to-warn claims often involve products that are hazardous in some form, but not obvious to the user or requires the use to exercise specific precautions or awareness when using it. So if a certain kind of medication is associated with dangerous side effects that are not included in the warning label, you might be eligible to file a defective product claim for this reason.
