Product liability lawsuits steming from the personal injury or wrongful death of people using defectively designed or manufactured products have become ever more common as victims grow to understand and defend their legal rights under product liability law.
The phrase “product liability” is used to describe situations in which a person or property is injured or damaged in some way due to defective products or services. Product liability is not a legal theory like strict liability, negligence, or intentional torts. Rather, the phrase simply means that the supplier, manufacturer, seller, or provider of a product or service may be held liable for any injury or damage caused by such product or service.
From the standpoint of a product liability lawyer, there are generally two scenarios that can create product liability. The first of these involves defective design and the second that of defective manufacture.
Product liability related to defective design occurs when the engineering process used by a company to design a product is faulty, resulting in a product that is unnecessarily dangerous. With design defects, all of the items that come off a company’s assembly line have the same potentially dangerous defect.
