Defective
consumer products have resulted in serious injuries and deaths.
Statistics from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission revealed
tens of millions of Americans undergo an injury resulting from defective
consumer product every year. And understandably, a substantial number
of such injuries results from the defect in the design or from any
manufacture flaw of the product.
Anyone
who has suffered from such complications must be able to take steps to
protect their rights. It is certainly not possible to state what is the
right monetary amount that can compensate all the pain and suffering;
but it is necessary to understand how to take action in the immediate
aftermath of the injury. The legal issues may seem a bit difficult at
times but it is required to stand up and create a voice against the
pharmaceutical giants who created this condition. To make it effective,
you need to have a consultation with the defective product lawyer in the state who can help you understand the complexities and the procedure behind getting the financial damage awards.
Manufacturing, Design, and Marketing Defects
Victims
who suffered from the injuries of a defective product can file a
lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributer, or even the wholesaler,
depending on what exactly is the defect type. There are three main types
of defective product claims -
- Design defects
- Manufacturing defects
- Marketing defects/failure to warn
- Manufacturing defects
Only
a certain batch of a company's manufactured goods generally have a
manufacturing defect (the defect where there is any error in assembling
the product parts). However, based on the theory of strict liability,
the manufacturer will be hold liable for any manufacturing defects that
result from faulty construction. Irrespective of the mistakes in the
manufacturing process or whoever did the actual error, the manufacturing
company will be liable for such cases. The plaintiff needs to prove
that their injury was due to the defects which were present when the
good was produced.
- Design defect
As
understood, this is entirely a design defect which is a mismatch from
the original blueprint of a product and results in serious
complications. It, undoubtedly, can be unreasonably dangerous and is
responsible for creating one of the most hazardous situation for the
potential users. This is typically found in all of a company's
manufactured products because the entire lot is produced using a faulty
concept.
Determining whether it is a design defect-
- Find out if the product’s design is unreasonably dangerous prior to production?
- Was there any plausible anticipation about the potential risk of these devices?
- Could the manufacturer have used a better concept / design without compromising on the economic feasibility and also without altering the purpose of the product?
When
there is any issue with the after effects of these implants or devices,
the victim can hold the company liable on the ground that none of the
answers were given affirmatively. The defective product lawyer will help you understand the implications of the product liability lawsuit.
