Helping Victims of Product Liability
It is important to consider that many personal injury claims for accidents such as car, truck and motorcycle as well as medical malpractice may also include a product liability claim. Product liability claims are based on various legal theories including negligence, strict liability and breach of warranty (express or implied). Parties along the distribution chain (manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers and sellers) may also be held responsible for defective products. This can be due to the design of the product, to the failure to adhere to federal safety standards, to the fact the product is unreasonably dangerous, or to the failure to warn.
