Product Liability Cases

Design defects – An entire line of products can be harmful if there is a flaw in the original design. When designers do not add a safety feature that is needed to prevent harm or a mistake is made that can result in injury, they should be held liable.

Manufacturing defects – When products are designed correctly but there is an oversight during the manufacturing stage such as using a cheaper part to save a little money, manufacturers are at fault and should be held accountable.Inadequate warnings or improper instructions – If a product does not have sufficient warning labels or if proper instructions are not provided, serious injury could occur. An example would be no warning given for certain medications that can have possible serious side effects or possible dangers when mixing one drug with another particular drug are not included. Kentucky Product Liability Lawyers help victims of these products hold those responsible liable.

Marketing defects – Defects in marketing happen when a manufacturer or retailer fails to warn consumers of the dangerous risks related to a particular product. These claims usually occur when a product’s danger is not obvious to the user or when the user is required to exercise special precautions or diligence when using it.
