What is
Product Liability Law?
Product liability, or products liability, is derived mainly from tort law, and refers to the liability of parties involved in the manufacture of a product for damage caused by that product.
Product Liability Attorneys
As just an example, a product liability lawsuit may include the manufacturer of dangerous products - from prescription drugs to dangerous equipment such as lawnmowers to asbestos.
Product liability law also includes holding manufacturers responsible for defects in the design of cars and/or seat-belts, poorly designed infant seats, and improperly manufactured and designed hospital beds and side rails.
Product liability is considered to be a "strict liability" offense - which means is that it does not matter if the defendant is negligent or not. If there is a defect in the product, and that defect causes harm, product liability law dictates that defendant is liable.
