Product Liability

Types of Product Liability Claims

There are three main types of product liability claims, including:

Defective Design

A defective design claim can arise when an entire line of products has a design flaw that makes them dangerous to use. For example, if a manufacturer designs a product with sharp edges that can cause injury, then all products within that line could be defective. 

Manufacturing Defect

A manufacturing defect occurs when there is an error during the production process and causes the product to be dangerous or defective. For example, if an item is designed properly but the manufacturer uses faulty materials or does not follow proper procedures during production, then this could result in a manufacturing defect. 

Failure to Warn

If a manufacturer fails to provide adequate warnings about how to use their products safely and they cause harm as a result, then this may constitute failure to warn.

Examples of Product Liability Claims

Defective drugs: If you have been injured by a defective drug, then you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. The most common types of drugs that cause injuries include painkillers and blood thinners.

‍

Defective medical devices: If you have been injured by a defective medical device, then you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. The most common types of medical devices that cause injuries include artificial hips and knees, as well as pacemakers and stents.

‍

Defective children’s toys: If your child has been injured by a defective toy, then you may be entitled to compensation for their losses. The most common types of toys that cause injuries include riding toys and swingsets.

‍

Defective household products: If your home has been damaged due to an injury caused by a defective household product, then you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. The most common types of household products that cause injuries include food processors and dishwashers.

‍

Defective auto parts: If your car has been damaged due to an injury caused by a defective auto part, then you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. The most common types of auto parts that cause injuries include airbags and seatbelts.

‍

Defective tires: If you have been injured due to a defective tire, then you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. The most common types of tires that cause injuries include tread separation and blowouts from underinflation or overinflation from poor maintenance practices or manufacturer defects on the part of the tire company or dealership where the tires were purchased from.
