Types of Product Defects

Product liability claims generally fall into three categories:

  • Design Defects: These defects are inherent to the product’s design, making it dangerous even before it is manufactured. For example, a car model that tends to roll over during sharp turns due to its design would fall into this category.
  • Manufacturing Defects: These occur when a product is safely designed but becomes dangerous due to errors in the manufacturing process. For instance, a batch of tires that are improperly cured and prone to blowouts would be considered to have a manufacturing defect.
  • Warning Defects: Also known as marketing defects, these arise when a product lacks adequate warnings or instructions about its potential dangers. A common example is a medication that doesn’t include proper dosage instructions or warnings about side effects​.

Legal Framework and Theories of Liability

Product liability cases can be pursued under different legal theories, the most common being negligence and strict liability:

  • Negligence: Requires proof that the manufacturer failed to exercise reasonable care in the design, production, or labeling of the product.
  • Strict Liability: Under this theory, the injured party does not need to prove negligence. It’s enough to show that the product was defective and caused harm. This is particularly important in product liability cases, as it allows consumers to seek justice even if the manufacturer claims to have taken all possible precautions​.

Pursuing a Product Liability Claim

Filing a product liability claim involves several key steps:

  • Evidence Collection

    It is essential to preserve the defective product, gather medical records, and document all damages related to the injury.

  • Legal Consultation

    Consulting with a product liability lawyer early in the process can help evaluate the claim's validity and outline the legal strategy.

  • Filing a Complaint

    Once the case is reviewed and evidence is gathered, a formal complaint can be filed in court to initiate the legal proceedings.

  • Discovery and Negotiations

    The case may go through stages of discovery, where both sides gather additional evidence, and negotiations may take place to reach a settlement.

  • Trial

    If a settlement is not reached, the case may proceed to trial, where both sides present their arguments before a judge or jury​.
