I recently bought a hair dryer from a very well-known store.
The saleswoman presented the product in such an appealing way that I decided to
buy it. The next day, asI tried to use it, it started behaving weirdly. It was
sucking in my hair. I went back to the store and reported the matter to them, but
they refused to refund me. What should I do?
If you have suffered an injury due to a defective product,
you may file a defective product liability claim. Your product liability claim
can be based on different legal theories such as strict liability, negligence,
breach of warranty and fraud.
In your specific case, you may file a product liability case
based on the “fraud” legal theory. You must show that:
·
The store made certain representations about the
product that were not true.
·
The store was aware that those representations
were not true or were not likely to be true.
·
The representations were made in such a way that
you, the victim, would buy the product.
·
You were justified in relying on the
representations.
·
The store’s false representations caused you
damage.
I am suffering from serious injuries I incurred from a faulty product I bought from a reputable store. If I were to file a claim, does the seller have to be negligent for me to succeed in my claim?
ReplyDeleteWhile a defective product can be the result of the negligence of the seller, Connecticut law also permits claims to be pursued for the damage you suffered even without negligence being a factor, depending on the circumstances of your case. At The Reinken Law Firm, their attorneys have years of experience and extensive knowledge of the law. They can provide you with the advice and guidance you need.
