Product liability allows injured consumers to seek compensation from the manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and retailers responsible for the defective product. These cases can typically be filed under one or more theories, including:
- Negligence: Claiming that the defendant didn’t exercise reasonable care in the design, manufacturing, or marketing of the product, resulting in your injury.
- Breach of warranty: Arguing that the defendant failed to fulfill express or implied warranties about the product’s safety or suitability.
- Strict liability: As mentioned earlier, liability can be established without proving negligence if you suffered injuries caused by a defective product.
