Who is Held Liable for Defective Products?

Determining Liability in Defective Product Cases

Determining liability in defective product cases can be complex. Generally speaking, product designers, manufacturers, and others involved in the creation and distribution of defective products are liable when their products cause undue injury or harm to innocent consumers. Unlike other personal injury claims, however, you do not necessarily need to prove that a manufacturer, distributor, or similar entity was negligent. You may be able to bring a claim under strict liability, negligence, or breach of warranty (explicit or implied).

Our legal team is highly qualified to handle complex defective product cases. We can determine who is legally liable for your injuries and damages, whether it be a:

  • Designer
  • Manufacturer
  • Seller
  • Distributor
  • Combination of multiple parties

Once we have determined liability, we can build a personalized case that utilizes expert witness, strong evidence, and other important information. Our goal is to seek maximum compensation on your behalf and provide you with the financial relief you need to get back on your feet.

Types of Product Defects

Monroe Product Liability Lawyers: Protecting Your Rights

There are many ways in which a product can be defective, but these defects typically fall into one of three categories:

  • Understanding Design Defects in Products

    When a product is inherently and unreasonably unsafe for normal use, it may have a design defect. Defective design occurs when a product is poorly designed or contains inherent flaws that make it unreasonably hazardous for consumers.
  • Identifying Manufacturing Defects

    A manufacturing defect refers to a flaw that is introduced during the actual creation of the product. Examples include incorrectly installed parts, contamination, and missing elements.
  • Marketing and Labeling Defects Explained

    Labeling defects occur when a product lacks necessary information, such as warning labels, side effects listings, or instructions. Marketing defects occur when a product is marketed for unapproved uses.

At Parker Alexander, we work to identify the type of defect a product had, as this helps us determine who is liable. For example, the manufacturer could be held liable if it produced automobiles with incorrectly installed seatbelts; a pharmaceutical company may be responsible for injuries and deaths if it marketed a prescription drug for off-label uses.

Common Injuries from Defective Products and Legal Recourse

Because there are innumerable types of products that may be defective, there are also nearly infinite ways in which a person can be injured by using a defective product. Auto defects can cause serious motor vehicle accidents, defective household appliances can lead to explosions and fires, faulty construction equipment can result in catastrophic injury and death, etc.

Some of the most common injuries resulting from defective products include:

  • Amputation
  • Broken bones
  • Brain injuries
  • Bruises/contusions
  • Cuts, scrapes, and lacerations
  • Internal bleeding
  • Organ damage
  • Paralysis
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Spine injuries

Our attorneys understand the long-lasting effects of these and other catastrophic injuries. We know that you need fair compensation not only for your immediate financial hardships but also for your future losses, as well. With this in mind, we aggressively advocate for maximum recovery on your behalf. If the liable party refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
