Types Of Product Liability Claims
Regardless of whether strict liability, or negligence, a consumer usually will need to prove that one or more of three types of defects existed. These are manufacturing defects, design defects, and marketing defects, also known as failures to warn.
In addition to proving the existence of the defect, the consumer will need to show that the defect caused their injury. This means that they would not have been injured if the defect had not been present.Manufacturing Defects
Occurs when there was a problem with how a specific item was made. A manufacturing defect might arise from an error on the assembly line at the factory, which makes a certain product different from all of the others in its line.
Design Defects
The people and entities that made the blueprint or specifications for the product may be responsible for failing to take foreseeable risks into account.
Marketing Defects (Failures to Warn)
If a manufacturer fails to provide appropriate instructions on how to use a product, or fails to warn consumers about its inherent risks, this may give rise to a product liability claim based on a marketing defect.
Breach of Warranty
If a product comes with a written warranty, and it fails to live up to the terms of the warranty, a victim might be able to bring a claim based on a breach of express warranty. You might find a warranty on labeling or packaging, in the advertising for a product, or in a manual that comes with a product.
