Common Types of Product Liability Claims

Product liability is a serious loss and one that is nearly always preventable. If you are hurt by a product’s failure or a company’s inability to warn you of your risks, it is essential to contact a Kentucky product liability lawyer to guide you. That includes all types of claims, such as:

Defected Manufactured Products

In this type of claim, a company manufactured a product in a way that caused a flaw. There was an error when making the item. It may not have been assembled properly, or a component was not treated as expected. These products fail when used as expected.

Defectively Designed Products

Some companies design products with defective or dangerous elements that make it a risk to anyone who uses them. A defective design claim states that there is some flaw in the way the product was first designed, even before the company manufactured it. This makes the product unsafe for ordinary use for some reason.

Failure to Warn or Instruct

The third type of product liability claim is a failure to warn or provide proper instructions on use. For example, if a product manufacturer did not warn others about known hazards that it could have or should have anticipated, that could indicate a significant risk. Additionally, if the company failed to provide instructions on how to properly use it, that could also be a risk.

Steps in a Product Liability Lawsuit

In a product liability lawsuit, you can anticipate several steps. With the guidance of our Kentucky product liability lawyer, you will know a bit more about the steps applicable to your situation.

• Speak to an attorney to assess your situation. Choose a lawyer with extensive experience in product liability litigation. Your lawyer will provide you with clarity on if one of the three most common types of liabilities applies in your case.
• Gather evidence. Your lawyer will then work to gather evidence of your injuries and losses. This process also includes research to determine if other people experienced the same type of losses you did. If so, a mass tort lawsuit may already be present.
• Your attorney will present the evidence in your case and claim to the at-fault party demonstrating their violation of product liability laws. This process enables the manufacturer to receive a fair warning while also establishing a way for you to recover damages.
• In many situations, your case will be investigated by the at-fault party, and if there are other cases like your own, a judge may order those parties to come together to share resources such as evidence.
• Going to trial may be necessary. If so, you can expect your lawyer to pursue full and fair compensation for you and clearly demonstrate the mistakes the company made.

There are additional steps that could play a role in your claim depending on whether or not there are others who suffered similar losses. Before you file an insurance company or hand over the evidence you have to the company, contact a Kentucky product liability lawyer from our firm. Enable us to offer a free consultation to discuss all of the risks that you are facing and your right to full and fair compensation for the losses you have.

What You Should Do

If you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, there are steps to take to preserve your claim. You should keep the product or any remains of the product and any packaging that you still have including price tags and receipts. You should also preserve any evidence of physical damage caused by the defective product. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your claim and recovery options.

Our attorneys will review any evidence that you have preserved and investigate whether or not other consumers have made similar complaints about the same product.
