Suing for Defective Products

Submitted by jrlaw on Jul 28th, 2011

A defective products attorney can help you in the event that you were injured or you had your property damaged as the result of a product that was defective in manufacture, design or advertising. A defective products attorney can help you in the event that one of these products injured you in a way that could not have been anticipated. What this essentially means is that, if you happened to be using the product against the manufacturer's instructions, there is little chance that you can anticipate winning anything for any damages or injuries you suffered as a result of doing so.

Understanding the 3 Basics of Product Liability

Submitted by jrlaw on Jul 26th, 2011

Product liability claims are widely misunderstood but, at the same time, they're actually pretty simple in theory. When someone puts a product on the market, they owe the customers who buy that product some basic assurances where quality and safety are concerned. If they fail to live up to these expectations, they can be held liable in court, in some instances.

What are Product Liability Lawsuits Filed Over?

Submitted by jrlaw on Jul 5th, 2011

Product liability lawsuits are filed over numerous different types of defects and the damage that they cause. Just to give you an idea of what people have sued over in the past, the list includes:

Defective cars
Defective electronic devices
Defective medications
Defective hardware
Defective toys

These lawsuits have some features in common that you need to understand. The products also met at least one of the following criteria:

It was designed defectively
It was manufactured defectively
It was advertised incorrectly

At least one of those three criteria has to be met about the defective product. The product also has to have cause real harm—physical or financial—in order for someone to sue over it. The damage has to be able to be quantified in terms of cash for someone to file a lawsuit, as well.
