Unlike most other forms of personal injury, product liability cases may be governed by strict liability. Under this law, a seller or manufacturer does not have to do anything intentional that causes you harm. If a product is sold or distributed in a defective condition unreasonably dangerous to the buyer or user, they are responsible for your catastrophic injuries.

Proving a Product Liability Case

A personal injury case involving a dangerous or defective product is complicated. It requires an understanding of the manufacturing, design, and distribution process of products sold in the marketplace. You should hire an experienced product liability attorney to prove:

  • Who designed the product and was the design defective?
  • Who manufactured the product and was the manufacturing process defective?
  • Was there a defect in the warnings or use instructions?
  • Who distributed and sold the product?
  • Has the product's condition been changed or altered after being sold?
  • Are there other parties responsible for the defect?
  • What are your injuries?
  • What is fair compensation you for your injuries?

These cases can be complicated and may require a team of experts to help prove your case. The goal of a product liability suit is to compensate people for their injuries and to deter businesses from making defective products.
