Common Defective Product Issues
The three most common product liability lawsuits are: manufacturing defect, defective design, and failure to warn. All of these claims assert that the plaintiff is owed compensation from the defendant because the defendant was aware that their product was faulty. The claimant must show that even though they used the product correctly they were still injured due to the failure of or defect in the product.
Manufacturing defect– This claim asserts that there was a flaw that occurred in the manufacturing process which caused the product being manufactured to not be safe. These clams are often identified by a production code and focus on a product that was manufactured within a specific time frame when the manufacturing flaw happened.
Poor design– this type of claim charges that there is something inherently unsafe in how the product was designed.
Failure to warn– This claim asserts that the manufacturer or other parties involved did not properly warn the buyer or user about any possible dangers posed by using the product or did not give adequate instruction for how to use the product in a safe manner.
Large product defect claims are many times settled out of court, and may be grouped as multi-district litigation (geographically) or consolidated as a class action case. If the claim has been consolidated as a class action case, the settlement will then be publicized and other consumers who were also injured by the defective product will be given the opportunity to submit evidence to show that they also deserve compensation with a defective products lawyer.
Defective Products? Our Lawyers Can Help
As South Carolina product liability attorneys, the John Price Law Firm, LLC has represented many innocent victims from the manufacturers of defective products. We often see defective products liability claims when defective products cause job injuries in workers compensation cases.
Product liability involves any machine and products that harms the user due to a design or manufacturing defect. Defective product injuries may include back injury, injuries to hands and limbs, eye injury, severe burns, crushed bones, scarring or disfigurement, head injury, or any other physical effects – and necessitate defective products lawyer services for the best results.
These products are often related to a workers’ compensation claim: defective forklift, drill press, conveyor belt, or farm equipment. It also might be a household tool, machine, or product, such as a lawnmower, circular saw or defective bike helmet product.
