Product liability Claim
Product Liability
Product liability is the liability of a manufacturer, dealer, distributor or vendor of goods to compensate another for damages or injury caused by the defective product it has sold.
A product liability claim is usually due to a defective design, manufacturing defect or lack of warning to consumers.
Whatever it is, consumers have to be protected from unscrupulous people who make their product below the standards required by law.
Causes of Action
If you are harmed due to an unsafe product, you may have a cause of action against its designer, manufacturer, seller or provider of such product. You may base your case on the any of the following theories:
- Negligence
- Strict liability
- Breach of Warranty
It is the failure to exercise the diligence of a good father of a family. A manufacturer, for instance, is negligent if it failed to exercise ordinary care in the design, production or assembly of its product thereby causing damage to another.
Liability attaches on the manufacturer or seller the moment injury occurs. They are made liable without need of proving fault on the consumer. The fact of injury or damage is sufficient reason to file a complaint.
It refers to the failure of the manufacturer or seller to make good its promise regarding the quality or type of the product. The plaintiff must further prove that such breach cause the injury or damage.
Claim Litigation
Claims may prosper even when the plaintiff incorrectly uses the product so long as such improper use is foreseen by the manufacturer, designer or seller.
