Several Types of Defective Products
When you purchase a product from a store or online, you probably expect that it is reasonably safe to use. Unfortunately, dangerous products still make it out onto the market and cause injuries among consumers. Defective products can lead to serious harm, including physical injury, property damage, and other losses. There are different types of defects that can lead to injury:
- Manufacturing defects: an error was made during the manufacturing process
- Design defects: the design of the product is inherently dangerous
- Failure to provide warnings: the manufacturer did not provide proper warnings or instructions for use
Each of these types of defects may form the basis of a products liability claim, depending on the circumstances of the injury and how the product was used.
Products Liability Litigation
If you or a family member is injured from a product because of a manufacturing defect, design defect, or failure to warn of its dangerous condition, make sure you keep the product in your possession if possible. Preserving the product and any related materials can be important in evaluating and proving your claim.
You may be entitled to compensation for your (or your loved one’s) injuries, including medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages depending on the situation. A product liability attorney can help investigate the claim, determine responsibility, and pursue appropriate legal action.
Demanding full accountability from a manufacturer or other provider of an unsafe product can not only compensate the victim for injuries, but can also help prevent future injuries to other people.
