What Is a Product Liability Lawsuit?

The legal doctrine of product liability allows consumers injured by defective and dangerous products to take legal action against the at-fault manufacturer or other parties involved in the distribution chain.

In most product liability cases, plaintiffs need not prove that the opposing party was negligent to prevail on their personal injury claim. Instead, plaintiffs can bring these claims under a theory of strict liability. That means defendants can be held liable for injuries from defective products regardless of whether the defendants were negligent.

Product liability claims are typically brought due to one of the following defects:

• Design defects – A defective design occurs when a product’s specifications render it inherently unsafe for its intended or foreseeable uses.
• Manufacturing defects – A manufacturing defect is when some error during the manufacturing process causes the product to become dangerous to use for intended or foreseeable purposes.
• Failure-to-warn – A failure-to-warn or marketing defects claim arises when a manufacturer or retailer fails to provide adequate instructions for a product’s safe use, which results in a user getting hurt. Alternatively, a claim might arise if a manufacturer or retailer fails to provide adequate warnings regarding the dangers or risks of using the product, and the user would not have been injured had they received those warnings.

Building a Case Against Manufacturers of Dangerous and Defective Products

A successful product liability case against a manufacturer will require evidence proving that the product caused the plaintiff’s injury. The evidence must also illustrate the product’s defective or unreasonably dangerous nature.

Examples of evidence attorneys often use to build robust product liability cases include:

• Accident scene photos and videos
• Engineering examination of the dangerous or defective product
• Accident reports
• Eyewitness testimony
• Expert reports and testimony

Your attorney might hire engineering experts who can persuasively explain the nature of the defect in the product that injured you, such as by showing that the manufacturer had safer, reasonable alternative designs to choose from.
