Product Liability Cases
When a product is unsafe, improperly labeled, or sold with inadequate warnings or instructions and you are harmed by using it, you may have legal recourse against the manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer of that product. This type of legal action falls under strict liability for defects in a product that make it dangerous to consumers. The underlying basis for product liability cases is negligence on the part of the manufacturer, breach of warranty, misrepresentation, or strict liability.
A manufacturer may be found negligent in a variety of ways, such as in the design of a product, in its production, or in its assembly. When buying a product, consumers are often promised reliability, performance, and safety in warranties from seller or manufacturer.
Breach of an express warranty refers to a seller or manufacturer failing to uphold the claims made about the product including safety, quality or functionality of the product. Breach of an implied warranty pertains to the seller or manufacturer's failure to provide a good that is fit for the general purpose for which it is used.
"Failure to warn" refers to the manufacturer's breach of its duty in its failure to alert consumers to the risks or hazards of using a product. Strict liability holds the manufacturer responsible for any injuries resulting from the product regardless of the manufacturer's potential negligence. The claimant must show that the product had a defect (warning, manufacturing, design) and that the defect caused bodily injury.
Over the years, many consumer products have been found to be defective or dangerous, including vehicles, auto parts, and various pharmaceuticals. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns consumers about such products and product recalls.
In the case of a dangerous or defective product, it is always in your best interests to speak with a lawyer about the specifics of your injury situation. I look forward to assisting you as a Coral Springs product liability attorney with your injury claim or lawsuit.
