Frequently Asked Questions
What evidence is needed to prove a product liability claim?
To prove a product liability claim, you'll need to provide evidence that the product was defective, the defect caused your injury, and you were using the product as intended. Essential evidence can include the product itself, medical records documenting your injuries, any expert testimony on the product's design or manufacturing flaws, and documentation of your purchase.
How do I know if a product defect caused my injury?
Identifying that a product defect caused your injury typically involves demonstrating that the injury occurred during proper use of the product and ruling out other potential causes. Expert analysis may be necessary to link the defect directly to the injury, often requiring the insights of engineers or product design analysts.
What types of defects can lead to a product liability claim?
There are three main types of defects that can lead to a product liability claim:
Design Defects: inherent flaws in the product design that make it unsafe.
Manufacturing Defects: errors made during the production or assembly of the product.
Labeling Defects: inadequate instructions, warnings, or safety information that fail to alert users to potential risks.
Can I file a product liability claim if I wasn’t the purchaser of the product?
Yes, you can file a product liability claim even if you were not the original purchaser of the product. The key is to prove that you were a legitimate user of the product and suffered harm due to its defect.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a product liability lawsuit?
The statute of limitations for filing a product liability lawsuit varies by state but generally ranges from one to four years from the date of the injury. It is crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the legal deadlines.
What should I do if a defective product injures me?
If you are injured by a defective product, seek medical attention immediately, preserve the product and any packaging or instructions, document your injuries and any other losses, and consult a product liability lawyer. Do not attempt to return the product or dispose of any evidence that could be crucial to your claim.
