Representing the Victims of Dangerous and Defective Products

Manufacturers may be liable for product defects if the product was made in a defective or dangerous way and injuries occurred as a result of the manufacturing defect.

Compensation for Manufacturer Liability

Damages for manufacturer liability may include:

  • Compensation for injuries or death
  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Property damage
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering

Strict Liability for Manufacturers

There are generally three theories of product liability:

  • Negligence
  • Strict liability
  • Breach of warranty

Manufacturers are generally held to the strict-liability standard, which means that they are liable for injuries and damages caused by dangerous and defective products, regardless of whether they knew (or should have known) that the product was unsafe. In other words, even if the manufacturer took care not to produce a defective product, it could be responsible for any manufacturing defects in the product.

In order for a plaintiff to successfully pursue a manufacturer product liability case, he or she must prove the following:

  • The product was defective at the time it left the manufacturer’s facility;
  • The plaintiff was injured; and
  • The plaintiff’s injuries were caused by the defective product.
