Some of the largest cases in history come from product liability claims due to the scale of damage that some products have caused. In one famous example, General Motors was sued for $20 billion in a class action lawsuit. Over 25 million individuals were affected. The lawsuit stated that many of the cars contained a dangerous chemical in the coolant. When the case was won, each person ended up receiving $400-$800 in damages.

Dangerous and defective products cause thousands of injuries every year. The law surrounding these types of injuries is called ‘product liability law,’ which holds a manufacturer or seller responsible in the event that a defective product causes bodily harm to an individual.
If a product has an unexpected defect, it cannot be said to meet the ordinary expectations of the consumer. A product liability lawsuit is the only logical option when this is the case. However, it can be challenging to prove that a product is defective without the help of an attorney.
Since there is no federal product liability law, the water can become murky quickly. These laws are usually based on state laws and the theories of strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty.
Generally speaking, any person who is injured by a defective or dangerous product can recoup damages, as long as the product was originally sold to someone. Proving liability and damages can be tricky, especially if the damage is severe and costly.
Naturally, the company will try and fight the case. The responsibility for a defect in the product bought can rest on any party that was involved in the product’s chain of distribution.
The first step in a product liability case is determining who can be held legally responsible for your injuries. In most cases, any party in the chain of distribution may potentially be liable for the harm the product caused you or your family.
Parties that may be held legally responsible in a product liability case may include:
It is important to note that if you bought a defective product at somewhere like a yard sale, chances are, you will be unable to bring a claim for damages. If the sale was conducted as a regular part of business, then you may be entitled to damages.
There are three main types of defects under most theories of liability. To prove that a product was improperly dangerous due to a defect, one of the three types of defects must be asserted.
Product liability cases may involve claims related to:
Connecting the party who is responsible for the defect almost always proves to be the most challenging part of the case. Having a legal team that is well-versed in product liability law is a necessary component of a successful legal case.
