Types of Product Liability Claims

A Type of Product Liability Claim May Result From a Defective Toy, Among Other Products

If you or your loved one suffered an injury from a product, anything from your child's toy to your automobile, you may have a liability case against the manufacturer of the product and distributors.

The common types of products liability claims include:

• Manufacturing defect cases: The product is unsafe because of the way in which it was constructed. For example, a bicycle assembled without a bolt that kept one of the wheels on.
• Design defect cases: The product is unreasonably dangerous because the design of the product itself is unsafe. Design defects can apply to the packaging. For example, an airbag deploys without impact.
• Insufficient instructions or warnings: The product does not have any foreseeable flaws, but it lacks warnings and instructions. For example, prescription drugs that do not list certain side effects.

Take Action Today If You Have Potential Product Liability Claim

Do not delay seeking qualified legal assistance. The statute of limitations restricts the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit and may prevent you from obtaining justice. While the statute of limitations allows more time for minor victims to file claims in court, it's important to take action sooner rather than later while witnesses' memories are fresh and evidence remains intact.
