Product liability cases
The validity of a product liability case depends greatly on being able to satisfy the burden of proof. This is the legal standard that asks the plaintiff to provide evidence of negligence in order to recover compensation for a serious injury. Product liability cases often need a comprehensive investigation into the product. It is important to preserve evidence. Many product liability cases depend on proving issues, including:
- Design defect: That the design of the product was dangerous and led to serious injury. This case would ask the plaintiff to prove that there was a safer, financially feasible alternative and the designer of the product didn’t take the necessary steps to provide for safety.
- Manufacturer defect: These cases depend on the plaintiff proving that the design was safe and that the manufacturer deviated from the original plans.
- Failure to warn: Some products are inherently dangerous if used incorrectly. It is important that the product provides clear instructions and warning labels that warn against the risk of improper use. When a party fails to do so, it can lead to serious injury.
