Product Liability

Product liability is a term often heard when a case involving serious injury or damage from a use of a product is taken to court.

The law, however, does not restrict liability to those who know that a product is defective. Product Liability laws have been created to help protect consumers from the effects of purchasing dangerous and defective products.

No company can possibly know in advance every time they develop a new product that there may be a serious safety issue related to manufacturing or to use of the product by inappropriate consumers. Manufacturers and retailers can be held liable for not notifying consumers of specific dangers.

Products you purchase from retail stores are made with an implied guarantee that the item is not defective and the product is not dangerous.

Product Liability Lawsuits in most states, there are no limits on the punitive damages that can be awarded to persons injured due to manufacturer liability. In addition, injured consumers have years to file their claims. Manufacturers are trying to deflect the cost of losing these cases, often in the millions, by taking out product liability insurance.

A Product Liability Lawyer can help you when a product causes personal injury or damages to property by assessing the personal injury or damages done by the negligent or defective product and estimate a compensatory sum.
