Huntersville Product Liability Cases: Types of Products Involved
Many types of products can potentially cause harm if they’re defective or if their marketers fail to warn of risks associated with using them. However, some types of dangerous products are more likely to cause harm than others. They include:
- Motor vehicle parts
- Power tools
- Industrial equipment
- Fire safety equipment
- Ladders and other such construction tools/equipment
- Bicycle parts
- Boat parts
Who May Be Liable in a Product Liability Case?
The severity of the injuries you might sustain as a result of using a defective or dangerous product can vary substantially. At the very least, your injuries may require medical treatment. If they’re particularly severe, they could permanently impact your quality of life.
If you’ve been injured as a result of using a dangerous product, this might have occurred because someone was negligent. You can seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other such losses if so.
Pursuing compensation typically involves filing a claim with the negligent party’s insurance. Potential negligent parties in product liability cases include:
- Designers: Sometimes products are unsafe to use due to inherent design flaws.
- Manufacturers: A properly-designed product can still cause harm if its manufacturers overlooked defects.
- Marketers: Those who market and sell products have a responsibility to provide adequate instructions and safety warnings. Consumers might be injured when they fail to do so.
