FAQs
A defective product is one that is dangerous due to a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions. If the defect causes injury or property damage, it may be grounds for a lawsuit.
Liability may extend beyond the manufacturer depending on the case, so designers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers can all potentially be held responsible for selling a defective product.
Many defective product cases are based on strict liability, meaning you don’t have to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused your injury while being used as intended or in a way that could be expected.
Common evidence includes the product itself, photos or videos of the defect, medical records, receipts or proof of purchase, expert testimony, and documentation showing how the injury occurred.
The time limit depends on your state’s statute of limitations, so it’s important to contact a product liability attorney at Postman Law to make sure you meet deadlines.
You may still have a claim even if the product was borrowed, gifted, or provided by an employer, if you were injured by a defective product.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, future care costs, and in some cases, punitive damages.
Many defective product claims are resolved through settlements, but some cases do go to trial, especially if the manufacturer disputes liability or the severity of injuries.
