Our Lawyers Have Experience in Products Liability Law

Product liability law, also called "products liability", governs the liability of manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and vendors for damages caused by dangerous or defective products. The goal of product liability laws is to help protect consumers from dangerous products, while holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for putting into the marketplace products that they knew or should have known were dangerous or defective. Depending upon the jurisdiction, the liability of the various parties involved as the product passes from the manufacturer to the consumer will vary.

The product liability law takes the defect in the product as a condition for liability instead of the intention or fault of the manufacturer, etc. Therefore, after introduction of the product liability law, the injured has only to verify the "defect in the product" for claiming damages. The product liability law can be said to employ the "liability without fault principle." This means that the manufacturer or supplier is liable for damages if the injury is caused by a defect in the product regardless of whether it was his intention or fault. However, he or she is not liable when there is no defect in the product.
