I have been injured while using a defective product. What
are common defences in a product liability case that I need to be aware of?
If you have received an injury from a defective product, the defendant, who may be a manufacturer of the product, can argue that the injury was not caused by the defect. There are three main types of product liability claims: negligence, breach of warranty and strict liability. One defence may work to defeat one kind of claim but not another. Given below are some common defences in a product liability case based on strict products liability or negligence.
I bought a new bike a month ago. Within a few days of purchase, I found that the tires were defective and were slipping. Recently, I had an accident due to this. Are those defective parts needed to file a claim?
ReplyDelete"See to it that the tires or the vehicle is not sold or destroyed. Keep them so the claim can easily be investigated.

ReplyDeleteMy son was injured due to a defective toy. Who can we sue for his injury? Can you please refer us to a law firm?
ReplyDeleteIt is a manufacturer’s responsibility to provide the public with safe and reliable products. When a company manufactures and sells defective wares that cause injury to consumers, it can be sued for damages. Because of their complexity of design, mechanical and motorized equipment such as snow blowers, lawn mowers, and power equipment are often sources of injuries due to product defects.

DeleteAs my mother was trying out a foldable lounge chair at a shop, it collapsed. Her fingers got horribly jammed, and she had to spend an entire week in hospital. We want to file a claim for compensation against the store. The store owner has refused to give CCTV footage of the incident. What should I do?
