Types of Product Liability Cases
Any product that is available for purchase can, unfortunately, be subject to defects. Whether the product is an automobile part, a medical device, a household item, or even a food product, there are no limits on the types of products that can be faulty. When consumers are injured by a faulty product, it is up to them to hold the company accountable so others aren’t injured in the future. One of the key components of any product liability case is that the injured party must prove that the product was defective. Product liability cases generally find that at least one of the following defects is present:
- Design Defects: An unsafe design can occur if the designer failed to account for safety during the initial product development phase. In cases of this nature, the injured party must prove that there was a safer, more feasible, and equally practical design that would allow the product to maintain its intended function.
- Manufacturing Defects: When a product’s manufacturer deviates from an approved design, safety issues can occur. This can ultimately cause anyone who uses the product to become subject to injury. In manufacturing defect cases, the injured party is required to prove that there was a deviation from the product’s approved design during the manufacturing process.
- Failure to Warn: Warning labels and clear instructions are very important for any product. when a company fails to include adequate labels or warnings, consumers may use the product incorrectly through no fault of their own and become seriously injured. In failure to warn cases, the injured party must prove that the company lacked appropriate instructions and warnings on the product’s labeling.
