dangerous and defective products
When you or a family member is injured while using a dangerous or defective product, you may be entitled to recover damages from the responsible party in a product liability lawsuit. Products liability law is based on the responsibility of a manufacturer or other provider of goods to compensate users of the goods for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products that it placed into the stream of commerce. The basic idea underlying products liability law is that the companies providing the products are usually in the best position to prevent defective products from entering the marketplace.
Possible legal theories that can be argued in a products liability case include negligence (lack of reasonable care in the manufacture or sale of the product or in warning about the product), breach of warranty (failure to fulfill the terms of a promise regarding the product’s performance), misrepresentation (giving consumers a false sense of security about a product’s safety), and strict liability (under which the product’s defect, although not the fault of the defendant, rendered the product unreasonably dangerous and the defendant is therefore responsible).
Persons injured by dangerous or defective products need an attorney experienced in all aspects of products liability law in order to advise them on the complexities of their case and guide them through the legal system toward the most favorable outcome. An experienced and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer can advise injured persons on whether they may have a claim against a product manufacturer or seller and can help them recover the damages to which they are legally entitled.
