Injuries from Defective Products

A great many of the class action lawsuits that you hear about on the news result from injuries caused by defective products. There are many different types of cases that fall into this category.

Some of the more common types of defective product cases involve injuries caused by the following situations: when a machine breaks during use; failure to include safety features on a product which could have prevented injuries (such as a guard on a lawn mower); food poisoning; injuries caused by inadequately tested or abnormally dangerous medications; and defects in cars.

The actual law of product liability is quite complicated. Product liability law can be generally broken down into two types:

  • Negligence
  • Warranty/Strict Liability.

In many cases, a lawsuit will allege both of these types against the defendant, as more than one may apply.
