PRODUCT LIABILITY
Defective or dangerous products are the cause of thousands of injuries every year in the U.S. "Product liability law," is the legal rules concerning who is responsible for defective or dangerous products. Product Liability Law is the general obligation or liability of the producer or supplier of goods and services in order to adjust for the loss associated with its utilization, such as damage of property or personal injury. In many states, including Texas, product liability law is a "strict liability" type, which means the injured party need-not prove that the manufacturer was negligent, but only that the product was defectively designed, manufactured or marketed.
Product liability cases can come in a variety of forms or over a variety of products. For example, product liability cases often involve:
- Automobiles
- Airbags
- Tires
- Car seats
- Heavy equipment
- Motorcycles
- Electronics
- Seat belts
- Building materials and more
Sometimes the defects are the result of flaws in the design of the product and sometimes they result from problems with the way in which the product was manufactured. In some instances, a product may be unreasonably dangerous because warnings accompanying the product did not adequately disclose of the dangers associated with its use or the proper safety measures to take to avoid those dangers.
