Richmond Products Liability Injury Lawyer
Products liability litigation addresses injuries resulting from dangerous and defective products. The range of products can be anything from food to automobiles. Given the evolution of products liability law and current trends, literally anyone injured by a defective product can bring an action for damages against companies on the distribution chain—including the manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, and distributor.
Personal injury litigation in Richmond involving products liability
There are three major types of products liability claims:
- Manufacturing defects
- Design defects
- Failure to warn defects
Manufacturing defects occur in the manufacturing process and involve low-quality materials or inferior workmanship. For example, a toy rattle produced with a splintered wooden handle classifies as a manufacturing defect.
Design defects are inherently dangerous or ineffectively designed products, regardless of the method of manufacture. For example, an automobile that explodes on collision at low speeds classifies as a design defect.
Failure-to-warn defects relate to products that do not carry sufficient warnings of the inherent, non-obvious dangers to the consumer, regardless of design or quality of manufacture. For example, a hair dryer that does not carry a warning to refrain from operation in the shower is an inherent, yet non-obvious danger to the consumer.
