Nashville Defective Products Lawyer
What is Product Liability Claim?
When a person suffers an injury due to a defective or dangerous product, they have the right to file a product liability claim. Product liability laws hold designers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers accountable for damages if their product caused or contributed to the injury or death of a consumer. There are three main types of product liability claims:
- Design Defect Claims: a defect exists in the inherent design of the product
- Manufacturing Defect Claims: the product became defective at some point during the manufacturing process
- Marketing Defect Claims: the product was sold with no warning labels and/or instructions, with only partial warning labels and/or instructions, the wrong warnings labels were included with the product, or the wrong instructions were included with the product
In order to win a product liability lawsuit, you not only need to prove a defect with the product exists, but also that you suffered an injury as a result of that defect. An experienced Nashville defective products attorney at the Law Office of Alexander W. Gothard can meet with you during a free consultation to review the facts of your case, determine if you have a valid claim, and help you pursue a product liability lawsuit against the responsible entity or entities.
While any product has the potential to be dangerous, there are certain types of products that are more prone to defects, such as:
- Electrical equipment
- Machinery
- Home appliances
- Baby products (cribs, car seats, etc.)
- Toys
- Auto parts (brakes, airbags, seat belts, etc.)
- Prescription or over-the-counter drugs
- Medical devices
- Foods and beverages
