Product Liability Injuries Experts - Product Failure - Keystone Engineering Consultants

The law of product liability is the area of law which deals with the liability of the manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer of a product for injuries resulting from dangerous and defective products.

A products liability claim usually falls into one of three possible types:

those claiming a design defect
those claiming a manufacturing defect
those claiming a failure to warn

Dangerous or defective product claims may succeed even when products were used incorrectly by the consumer, as long as the incorrect use was foreseeable by the manufacturer.

A basic negligence claim consists of proof

of a duty owned,
of a breach of duty,
that the breach caused the injury,
and of an injury.
