Every year thousands of people are injured or even killed by defective products, including vehicles, appliances, medical devices, power tools, ATVs, and many others. When a manufacturer puts a product into the market, they have a responsibility to ensure that the product is safe for the consumer. When their product is found to be unsafe they are responsible to compensate any victims of that defective product.
In general, there are three types of product defects:
- A manufacturing defect occurs when a product is well designed but poorly made, such as the new TV that catches fire when plugged in because the wires were installed improperly;
- A design defect occurs when a product is well made but poorly designed, such as an SUV whose tires are too close together, causing it to tip over on sharp turns;
- A marketing or warning defect can include such things as improper instructions or the lack of a warning label telling the consumer how to use the product safely.
Products liability is a complex area of law. In addition to these general rules, a number of specific laws affect who is liable to consumers and what kinds of products are covered. Your case may also be affected by state laws or by various federal laws. Contact us to help you negotiate this legal maze and get you the recovery you deserve.
