Product Liability Attorney - Product Liability Accidents

Product Liability Accidents
If you have been injured by a product - whether because it was defective or because it was inherently dangerous - you may be eligible for compensation from the manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler, distributor, or lessor. This obligation, called product liability, is a division of personal injury and is governed by product liability law.

It is important to note, however, that a product need not be defective for its manufacturer to be found liable under product liability law. For example, if an infant is injured by a pin lodged in a jar of baby food, all corporations affiliated with the distribution of the product can be held responsible for any injuries

incurred. However, the baby food, though it contains a dangerous item, is not technically defective; rather, it is unsafe to consumers. This holds true for all non- defective products, whether they are microwave ovens, car tires, heavy piece of machinery, or household cleaning products - as long as they were used in the manner intended.

In the past, "buyer beware" was the prevailing legal notion. Current law, however, imposes strict liability on corporations or individuals who make defective products. Strict liability makes everyone involved in the making of consumer products potentially accountable for any resultant personal injury. It assumes that manufacturers and sellers must reasonably try to protect consumers, whether they do so by providing warnings when potential hazards accompany specific products or by ensuring that defective or malfunctioning parts are not used in their wares. Failure to do so can result in a product liability claim.
