What Is Product Liability?

Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and others in the product chain accountable for injuries caused by defective products. Essentially, the law protects consumers from being harmed by unsafe products they purchase and use.

There are three main types of product liability claims:

  1. Design defects: These occur when the inherent design of a product makes it unsafe, even when manufactured perfectly. For instance, a toy with small parts that can easily be choked on would be considered a design defect.
  2. Manufacturing defects: These errors occur during production and cause a product to deviate from its intended safe design. An example might be a power tool with faulty wiring that creates an electrical hazard.
  3. Failure to warn: Manufacturers or sellers must adequately inform consumers about potential dangers associated with using the product. For instance, a medication with serious side effects but no clear warnings could be grounds for a failure to warn claim.

Consult a product liability attorney if a defective product has injured you to understand your rights and compensation options.

What to Do If You’ve Been Affected by a Defective Product

Being injured by a defective product can be a frightening and frustrating experience. Here are some crucial steps to take if you suspect you’ve been harmed by a faulty item:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. If you’ve been injured, see a doctor right away and get the medical care you need. Don’t delay seeking professional help, even if your injuries seem minor at first.
  2. Keep the Defective Product: Don’t throw away the product that caused your injury! Preserve it in the same condition it was in when the accident occurred. This will be crucial evidence in your case.
  3. Gather Documentation: Collect any receipts, warranties, or manuals that came with the product. Hold onto any photos you may have taken of the damage or your injuries. Also, document the date and specifics of the incident when the injury occurred.
  4. Report the Incident: If the product is part of a safety recall, report the incident to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission at https://www.cpsc.gov/. This helps raise awareness of the danger and prevent others from getting hurt.
  5. Consider Legal Action: Depending on the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the defect, consider consulting with a product liability attorney. They can advise you on pursuing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

When to Hire a St. Louis Product Liability Attorney

If a product has injured you, you might be wondering if you need a lawyer. Here are some key factors to consider:

  • Severity of your injuries: For minor injuries, you might decide to handle things yourself. Consider consulting a product liability attorney based on the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the defect.
  • Case complexity: Product liability cases can involve intricate legal issues, especially when determining the defect and liable party. An attorney with experience in this field can navigate the complexities and build a strong case on your behalf.
  • Dealing with large corporations: Manufacturers and distributors often have deep pockets and legal teams to fight claims. Our St. Louis product liability lawyers can level the playing field and protect your rights throughout the process.
  • Preserving evidence: Acting quickly is crucial in product liability cases. An attorney can help gather and preserve evidence, such as the defective product, medical records, and witness statements. This evidence is vital for proving your case.

If you’re unsure whether you need a lawyer, schedule a free consultation with a CD&L product liability attorney. We will assess your situation and advise you on the best course of action.
