FAQ

Morgan & Morgan

    Types of Product Liability Claims

    Product liability claims typically fall under one or more of the following categories:

    • Manufacturing Defects: Manufacturing defects occur when a product is made improperly. Rather than having an error at the design stage that makes all the products defective, these products are flawed because of the way the individual product was made. In order to win a manufacturing defect claim, the plaintiff must be able to prove that the product was defectively manufactured and that the defect led directly to their injury.
    • Design Defects: Unlike manufacturing defects, design defects occur at the design stage of product development and typically affect all of the products that were produced. In such cases, the entire line of products is defective or dangerous because of a mistake in design or engineering. 
    • Failure to Warn: If a manufacturer fails to warn the consumer of a risk, or fails to instruct them how to use the product safely, the injured party may be able to sue for failure to warn. For example, if a riding lawn mower product manual did not warn the consumer not to use it on uneven surfaces, and a person was injured when the mower tipped over, they may be able to file a lawsuit for failure to warn.

    Types of Damages in Product Liability Cases

    Defective products can cause many different types of damage, and your attorney will likely attempt to recover compensation for all past and future damages you suffer. The following are common types of damages in product liability cases:

    • Medical expenses, including hospital bills
    • Loss of income
    • Pain and suffering
    • Mental anguish
    • Disability
    • Disfigurement
    • Loss of future earning potential
    • Funeral expenses (in cases of wrongful death)
