Product Liability Claim

Product manufacturers, distributors and retailers are basically liable for injuries under the principle of product liability. A product liability claim gives a consumer the right to pursue or seek damages for injuries incurred as a result of using a certain defective product.

A product liability claim may be brought against the liable parties depending on defect issues such as the following:

• design defects
• manufacturing defects
• a failure to warn

Design defects are often inherent, meaning the defects are a result of the design itself. On the other hand, a manufacturing defect occurs during the process, which usually involves poor-quality and an inferior result. A failure to warn consumers such as putting adequate warning labels on certain products - may also hold the manufacturer and seller accountable for damages through negligence.

In establishing a claim through negligence, the following elements must be present:

• what is the duty owed
• how is the duty breached
• what is the resulting injury
• proof that the breach caused the injury

Product liability claims may also be pursued under the breach of warranty claim which are categorized into breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, and breach of implied warranty of fitness.

Injuries suffered as a result of using products with manufacturing or design defects may entitle the victim to compensation. The damages a victim may receive typically include, compensation for medical treatments, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages wherever applicable.
