Product Liability

Injuries can arise through the use of everyday products, from household tools and appliances, to food and clothing.

The law of defective products can be divided into three categories:

• Manufacturing defects are those that occur in the manufacturing process and usually involve poor-quality materials or shoddy workmanship.
• Design defects occur where the product design is inherently dangerous no matter how carefully manufactured; this may be demonstrated either by showing that the product fails to satisfy ordinary consumer expectations as to what constitutes a safe product, or that the risks of the product outweighs its benefits.
• Failure-to-warn defects arise in products that carry inherent and non-obvious dangers which the designer, manufacturer, supplier or retailer failed to mitigate through adequate warnings to the user.

If you’ve sustained injures in the course of using of a product in the way it was intended, you may be entitled to compensation from some combination of the designer, manufacturer, supplier or retailer.
