Product Liability Cases

Product liability cases involve any situation where a person has suffered an injury or loss as a direct result of a specific product they used, whether their own or someone else's. Products can include, toys, medications, defective parts on a mode of transportation the injured party used, housing materials, and a host of other products. Liable parties in product liability cases can include manufacturers, distributors and or retailers. Laws that apply to product liability cases vary from state to state. Factors considered in a product liability case can include, type and extent of injury suffered, extent of liability on the defendant's part, and the extent of the plaintiff's liability. Product liability cases fall within three categories. In a negligence case, it must be proven that carelessness caused the injury.

Fast Facts

  • A strict liability case means it must be proven that a product is unreasonably dangerous, and a breach of warranty case needs to show that a written or implied promise that the product was free of defects was not true.
