Understanding Product Liability
Product liability refers to the responsibility of any or all parties along the manufacturing chain for producing or selling a defective product. This responsibility typically lies with the manufacturer of component parts, assemblers, wholesalers, or retailers. If such defective products cause injury, it is critical that those involved are held accountable.
In Ohio, product liability law is in place to ensure that manufacturers are held liable for defective products that are sold to consumers. Remember, you have the right to seek compensation if you're harmed by a product defect.
Types of Product Liability Claims
Product liability claims can arise from various defects, which may include:
- Design Defects: This occurs when a product is inherently dangerous due to its design, regardless of manufacturing quality.
- Manufacturing Defects: These defects occur during the production or assembly process, making the product dangerous.
- Marketing Defects: Often referred to as "failure to warn," these involve inadequate instructions or warnings for safe product use.
Understanding the type of defect that caused the injury is crucial for a successful claim. Our Dayton personal injury lawyers can guide you through determining this.
