Manufacturing Defect Claims
Manufacturing defects occur when a product deviates from its intended design due to some error in production or assembly. This type of claim requires proof that there was an error during the manufacturing process and that this error caused the consumer’s injury or illness. The injured party must prove that there was something wrong with how it was assembled or manufactured, not just with its design itself.
Failure-to-Warn Claims
This type of claim occurs when a consumer is injured by using a product properly but without being warned about potential risks associated with its use. A failure-to-warn claim requires proof that there was inadequate warning given about potential risks associated with using the product and that such a lack of warning resulted in injury or illness for the consumer. In other words, had they been adequately warned, they would not have used it and thus avoided injury altogether.
Product liability claims are complicated and require careful consideration before taking action; however, understanding your rights, as well as these three types of common claims, can help you assess whether you should pursue damages for any injuries incurred as a result of faulty products. If you believe you have experienced harm due to a defective product, contact an experienced attorney who can advise you on your best course of action moving forward and will fight for fair compensation on your behalf.
