What Are the Three Main Types of Product Liability Claims?

The main types of cases our product liability attorneys provide counsel for include:

Design Defects: Occur during the pre-production design or testing phase. A product is considered faulty due to a design flaw when its design makes it inherently unsafe, even if it’s manufactured and assembled correctly. This can be due to a variety of issues, such as using materials that aren’t strong enough or failing to include important safety features.

Manufacturing Defects: Happen during the production or assembly phase when the product itself is deemed as dangerous. A mistake takes place that causes the product to fall short of the original design specifications or differ from the intended design. The issue is with the product itself and could be due to a range of problems, including a broken component, human error during assembly or failure to properly inspect the product.

Warning or Instructional Defects: Take place at any point before, during or after a product is produced and marketed. The product is considered faulty because its safety labels, instructions or warnings were inadequate or failed to be included at all.

Pope McGlamry’s product liability lawyers will seek accountability from the designer, manufacturer or marketer responsible for your pain.

What Is Pope McGlamry’s Legal Process for Product Liability Claims?

Each case at Pope McGlamry is unique, so the exact legal process, timeline and steps can vary. In general, we start with an initial client phone call to learn about your situation. Then, an investigation period follows that includes obtaining medical records, incident reports and/or product information. Once a determination is made that a viable claim exists, we explore options for filing the lawsuit.

When and where we file the lawsuit depends on factors like who the defendants are, where the injury occurred, any applicable status of limitation or statutes of repose (legal deadlines) and whether or not the case is part of a larger group of similar cases (called a mass tort). Once the lawsuit is filed, discovery commences. This is the period where we obtain information from the opposing party and they can obtain information from us.

What Damages Can You Receive From a Product Liability Case?

When injuries occur due to product defects, the responsible party can be held liable for the damages their defective products cause. The types of damages you may be compensated for in a product liability case include:

Medical bills

Lost wages

Repairs to damaged property

Pain and suffering

Emotional distress

Punitive damages

Through diligent work and consultation with various experts such as engineers, warnings specialists, accident reconstructionists and medical experts, our attorneys can provide you with quality representation if you’ve been injured by a defective product.
