Richmond District Product Liability Attorneys
Product liability laws protect consumers from dangerous or defective products. Whether by poor construction or a design flaw, when a defective product results in serious injuries for consumers, they can seek financial compensation for their injuries. While a monetary settlement can never undo the physical and emotional harm incurred by a defective product accident, it seeks to redress the damages done by a harmful product.
Product Liability Defects
There are three types of product defects that can be the grounds of a product liability suit:
Manufacturing Defect: These are products that are well designed but poorly manufactured: perhaps it was not securely screwed together or the plastic used in the product was weak.
Design Defect: These products are inherently dangerous. A design that increases the risk of injury or directly causes injury is considered to have a design defect.
Insufficient Instructions or Warnings: When injuries arise from misdirected use of a product, or a product causes unintended and unwarned side effects, victims may also be entitled to compensation under product liability law.
Types of Product Liability Accidents
In an age where new products are constantly being invented and redesigned, there are many cases where a manufacturer fails to sufficiently test a product or inform consumers of possible dangers. Defective product accidents may involve:
- A defective design that causes joint implants to dislodge
- Unexpected side effects from a pharmaceutical drug
- An airbag that did not deploy in a front-impact car accident
- Exercise equipment that causes chronic injuries
- Food contaminated with a virus, bacteria, or other pathogen causing a foodborne illness
