Pursuing compensation in a defective product case without an attorney is a great risk. You will likely go up against large manufacturers who can afford a team of tough attorneys with the primary objective of saving the company money. They will use any stratagem against you to achieve their aim.

Federal laws hold manufacturing companies to a certain standard to keep the general public safe. Everyday products such as cribs, food, tires, fireworks, and many others, can turn dangerous if they have any type of defect or flaw, and must be made with the utmost care. If companies produce a defective item and it causes an injury, the victim has the right to file a lawsuit for the expenses incurred as a result of the injury. In such instances, a Dallas product liability lawyer can assist an injured victim in seeking proper compensation against the liable manufacturer.

Product liability cases are divided into two categories:

• Negligence
• Strict liability

When You Can File a Negligence Product Liability Claim

Product liability cases are divided into two further categories:

• Negligent design of the product
• Negligent manufacturing of the product

Negligent design of a product means that the manufacturer produced a product with improper design or without considering the safety and potential dangers it could have to someone using the product in a normal manner. A manufacturer could be held liable for such egregious actions. In addition, the manufacturer may be held liable if it designs a product properly, but makes cost-cutting design choices at the expense of safety. For instance, the manufacturer may use toxic materials (such as lead-based paint) or poor quality materials. When a company takes such a risk with the safety of its customers, it can be held liable for any resultant injuries or fatalities. The law also places the responsibility on the product manufacturer to warn consumers of the inherent risks involved with use of the product. For example, when a patient takes a medication that has a side effect that is not listed on the product warning, the company could be liable for any resulting medical conditions.

When You Can File A Strict Liability Claim

When a company does not commit negligence designing its product but simply creates a product with inherent dangers, the manufacturer or designer may be held accountable under a strict liability claim. The design of certain products may not contain any actual defects, but may cause injuries even when used as directed. In one case, a company developed a recreational product with the frightening title of “lawn darts.” The game involved players competitively throwing sharp darts across a yard where they would jab into the ground. Even when used properly, this game posed a serious threat to its users.
