Product Liability Claim

Manufacturing and distributing companies must exercise duty to sell safe products to the consumers. But today there are so many companies in the world declaring recalls on their products due to the many defects they have either failed to inspect or because of their consumers who have, in one way or another, have sustained injury from the use of the products. And depending on where the claim has started, you can file a product liability claim if the company is proven to be negligent in providing safety measures, or if the product is indeed unreasonably dangerous (design or manufacture defect), or if there is a breach of warranty.

The most important thing you need to show to substantiate your product liability claim is that you indeed got injured by the product; otherwise you cannot bring a claim against them. The next thing to determine is how the company got itself liable of your injury.

In most cases, product liability is considered as strict liability because manufacturers should have already known the risks of any danger that may arise from selling the products to the consumers, and should be held accountable for developing safe products. If they have, on the other hand, broken an implied or written assurance that their products are free from manufacture defects, or if they have failed to include product warnings or safety instructions, you can sue them for product liability due to breach of warranty.

You can get indemnified for the damages incurred from the product defects, which can include compensation for medical treatments, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages wherever applicable. But filing and pursuing a product liability claim is usually complicated, and in some cases can cost a lot of money.
