Types of Defective Product Accidents
Defective product accidents encompass a wide array of situations, typically falling into three primary categories:
Design Defects: These arise from inherent flaws in the initial product design, rendering it unreasonably dangerous, even if manufactured perfectly. For example, a car design prone to rollovers.
Manufacturing Defects: Manufacturing defects occur during the production process when a product deviates from its intended design, rendering it unsafe. An example would be medication contamination due to a production line error.
Marketing Defects: Sometimes, products lack adequate labeling, warnings, or usage instructions, resulting in injuries. This is referred to as a marketing defect or failure to warn.
Determining Liability
Establishing liability in defective product cases is often intricate and necessitates identifying the responsible parties, which may encompass the product manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. Liability hinges on the following:
- The product had a defect that rendered it unreasonably hazardous.
- The defect was the direct cause of the injuries.
- The product was used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable manner when the injuries occurred.
What to Do After a Defective Product Injury
