Product Liability / Defective Products

Product liability is an area of law that involves serious bodily injuries suffered as a result of a defective product or the defect in the component part of a product.

Defects in the manufacturing or design occur in many different types of products.  For example, the item can range from household products, to food, drugs, vehicles, medical devices, blood, tobacco, gases, and even commercial jets.  Regardless of the type of defective product involved, Ellis, Ged & Bodden will apply our experience and knowledge in this complex area of law to bring a claim and protect the legal rights of an injured victim.

In general, there are three types of defects that may result in a product being unreasonably dangerous or too defective for use.  A manufacturing defect may occur in the making or assembly of the product.  Or, in advance of the product being manufactured, a design defect may occur that results in the product being defective even though manufactured according to the specifications of the design.  A manufacturer may also be held liable for failure to properly warn a consumer of an unreasonably dangerous condition associated with the use of the product.

In all injury cases it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, including the preservation of the defective product itself.  It is essential that there be a timely and thorough investigation of the incident by qualified experts who will facilitate physicians or other expert witnesses in the proof of your claim.
