When a product is not fit for its ordinary or intended purpose, fails to warn of potential dangers, or malfunctions causing personal injury or death, you may have the basis for a defective product claim. The term “product” can include anything purchased or used by consumers, including but not limited to:
A knowledgeable North Kansas City lawyer could review the circumstances of your case to determine whether product liability law may be applicable.
Blake Green has a proven record of success in product liability cases. Claims for personal injury from a defective product can generally proceed under three theories of liability:
Manufacturing defects occur during the construction or production of the item. Only a few out of many products of the same type are flawed in this case.
Design defects are inherent; they exist before the product is manufactured. While the item might serve its purpose well, it can be unreasonably dangerous to use due to a design flaw.
Defects in marketing deal with improper instructions and failures to warn consumers of latent dangers in the product.
Products liability is generally considered a strict liability offense. Strict liability wrongs do not depend on the degree of carelessness by the defendant. Translated to products liability terms, a defendant is liable when it is shown that the product is defective. It is irrelevant whether the manufacturer or supplier exercised great care; if there is a defect in the product that causes harm, the manufacturer or supplier will be liable for it. A seasoned defective products attorney in Northland Kansas City could explain the state laws surrounding product liability in more detail during an initial meeting.
Consumer protection laws not only prescribe certain standards for product manufacturers and merchants, but also provide recourse for consumers who are physically or financially harmed when the goods purchased are not fit for their intended purpose. In those instances, it is important to retain a product liability attorney to hold the responsible party liable for selling a defective product.
