Product Liability Claims: What You Need to Know
Product liability cases can be complex, but at the core, they are about holding companies responsible when unsafe products cause harm.
For more than 45 years, Beasley Allen’s product liability lawyers have represented individuals and families injured by defective and dangerous products. We handle complex cases and work to uncover what went wrong—whether it involves poor design, manufacturing errors, or a failure to warn consumers about risks.
Defective products cause serious injuries and losses every year. Many of these incidents could be prevented if companies followed basic safety standards and put people first.
At Beasley Allen, we are committed to protecting consumers and improving safety. We work to recover fair compensation for our clients while pushing companies to make safer products in the future.
Do You Have a Product Liability Case?
You may have a product liability claim if a product caused your injury while being used as intended or in a normal, expected way. These cases often involve unsafe designs, manufacturing errors, or missing safety warnings.
You may qualify if:
- You were injured while using a product correctly
- The product had a design, manufacturing, or warning defect
- Your injury required medical care or led to lost income
- You still have the product, packaging, or proof of purchase
Not every defect is obvious, and you do not have to figure this out on your own. Even if you are unsure what caused the problem, you may still have a valid claim.
Product Liability Cases We Handle
We handle a wide range of defective product cases across many industries, including:
- Auto and Transportation Defects: Unsafe vehicles, faulty parts, and crash-related failures
- Dangerous Consumer Products: Everyday items that pose safety risks in the home
- Defective Medical Devices: Products that fail or cause harm during treatment
- On-the-Job Equipment Failures: Dangerous machinery and equipment defects that put workers at risk
- Unsafe Food and Chemical Exposure: Harm caused by contaminated food or toxic substances
If a defective or dangerous product caused your injury, our attorneys can evaluate your case and help you understand your legal options.
Types of Product Defects
When it comes to the products we use every day, safety is a top priority. However, sometimes products can be dangerous due to defects. There are three main types of defects that can make a product unsafe:
- Design Defects: The product was unsafe from the start due to a flawed design, even when used as intended. This means every version of the product may carry the same risk.
- Manufacturing Defects: A mistake during production made the product dangerous, even if the design itself was safe. These defects may affect certain batches or units.
- Failure to Warn: Missing instructions or safety warnings made the product unsafe or more dangerous to use. Without clear guidance, users may not understand the risks.
These defects can lead to serious injuries and may form the basis of a product liability claim.
Categories of Claims
Most product liability cases fall into three main categories: negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty.
- Negligence: The company failed to act with reasonable care when designing, making, or selling the product, which led to unsafe conditions
- Strict Liability: The product was defective and caused injury, regardless of how careful the company may have been
- Breach of Warranty: The product failed to meet safety promises, either stated or expected for normal use
Our attorneys review the details of each case to identify the strongest path forward and pursue full accountability.
