Understanding Product Liability
Product liability refers to a manufacturer or seller being held liable for placing a defective product into the hands of a consumer. Responsibility for a product defect that causes injury lies with all sellers of the product who are in the distribution chain. The law requires that a product meets the ordinary expectations of the consumer. When a product has an unexpected defect or danger, it does not meet those expectations.
Types of defective product claims
- Design Defects: Flaws in a product’s design that pose inherent risks, even if manufactured correctly.
- Manufacturing Defects: Errors that occur during the production process, making a safe design dangerous.
- Marketing Defects: Failure to provide adequate safety warnings or instructions, which could prevent the consumer from accidental harm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our FAQ to get the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about defective product and device claims.
What constitutes a defective product claim?
A defective product claim arises when an individual is injured by a product that is inherently dangerous due to its design, manufacturing process, or inadequate warnings. If you’ve been harmed by such a product, you may have a claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer.
How do I know if I have a valid defective product case?
To have a valid case, you must demonstrate that the product was defective and that this defect directly caused your injury. It’s also essential to show that you were using the product as it was intended to be used at the time of the injury.
What types of compensation can I recover in a defective product injury case?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages intended to punish the manufacturer for negligence. Each case is unique, so the specific damages available will depend on the details of your situation.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit for a defective product injury?
The statute of limitations varies by state but generally ranges from one to four years from the date of the injury. It’s critical to consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the legal time limits.
What should I do if I am contacted by the manufacturer or their insurance company?
It is advisable not to discuss your case or agree to any settlements with the manufacturer or insurance representatives before speaking with a personal injury lawyer. They may attempt to settle your claim for less than what you might be entitled to.
What can I do to strengthen my defective product injury claim?
Collect and preserve all evidence related to your injury, including the product, medical records, and any correspondence related to the product. Additionally, keeping a detailed record of how the injury has impacted your daily life can be beneficial.
How much will it cost to hire a lawyer for my defective product case?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. The typical fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount, and you will not owe any attorney fees if your claim is not successful.
Can I file a claim if a defective product injured someone I love?
If a defective product has injured a loved one, especially if it resulted in death, you may be able to file a wrongful death or personal injury claim on their behalf. Speak with a personal injury lawyer to discuss your options.
Do I need to keep the defective product that injured me?
Yes, if possible, keep the defective product in its current condition, as it can serve as crucial evidence in your case. Do not alter, repair, or discard the product until you have consulted with a lawyer.
Who is liable for a defective product?
Liability for a defective product can often be attributed to any party within the product’s distribution chain, including the product manufacturer, a manufacturer of component parts, a party that assembles or installs the product, the wholesaler, and the retail store that sold the product to the consumer.
