Product Liability

August 22, 2024

Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for defective products that cause harm to consumers. This area of law ensures that individuals who are injured by dangerous or faulty products can seek compensation for their injuries and other damages.

There are three main types of product defects that can result in liability: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects (such as inadequate warnings or instructions). Each of these defects can cause serious harm, and manufacturers are required by law to ensure their products are safe before they reach consumers.

To win a product liability case, the injured party must prove that the product was defective and that the defect directly caused their injury. This often requires expert testimony, product testing, and evidence of other similar incidents involving the same product.

Manufacturers have a duty to conduct thorough testing of their products to ensure safety. If they fail to do so and a defect goes undetected, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries. In some cases, companies may also be liable if they fail to provide adequate warnings about the risks associated with their products.

Victims of defective products may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. In particularly egregious cases, courts may also award punitive damages to punish the manufacturer for willful misconduct or gross negligence.

"Stratejic has represented a significant return on my investment. Paul and his team saved me a considerable amount of time filing a class action by providing me with the names and addresses of some former, harmed employees of my Defendant." - Douglas B. Lipsky, ESQ.

Stratejic Relationships, under the leadership of founder Paul Littrell, Jr., supports product liability cases by helping attorneys identify witnesses who have also been harmed by defective products. With 18 years of experience in uncovering crucial details, Paul’s firm plays a critical role in building strong cases and pursuing justice for injured consumers.

In many product liability cases, multiple consumers are affected by the same defect. Class action lawsuits allow these individuals to join together and pursue compensation as a group. Stratejic Relationships helps attorneys by providing the names and contact information of potential class members.

Product liability law is an essential area of protection for consumers harmed by unsafe products. With the help of experienced attorneys and the resources provided by Stratejic Relationships, victims can seek the compensation they deserve while holding negligent manufacturers accountable for their actions.
