Understanding Products Liability
At Goldfaden Benson, we recognize the profound impact that defective products can have on individuals and families. Products liability law is designed to protect consumers from dangerous and defective products by holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for any harm caused by their products. When a product fails to perform as safely as an ordinary consumer would expect, resulting in injury, you may have grounds for a products liability claim.
Products liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers and sellers for placing a defective product in the consumer’s hands. Annually, defective products cause thousands of injuries in the United States. The law requires that products meet the ordinary expectations of consumers. When products fail due to defects, they violate these expectations. Each state has its own consumer protection laws covering negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty.
Products liability cases typically involve three main types of defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects (failure to warn).
Goldfaden Benson’s experienced products liability attorneys have extensive knowledge in handling cases involving all types of product defects, ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve.
In products liability cases, multiple parties can be held liable, including manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers. Each of these parties has a responsibility to ensure that the products they produce or sell are safe for consumer use. When they fail in this duty, resulting in injury, they can be held legally responsible.
At Goldfaden Benson, we conduct thorough investigations to identify all responsible parties and build a strong case on your behalf.
Products liability claims are primarily based on three legal theories: strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty.
