Product Liability Lawyers
Arizona product liability lawyers who represent
people who have suffered a personal injury or
death by negligence, medical malpractice or a
defective product. We also represent people treated
unfairly by insurance companies resulting in bad
faith, breach of contract, and uninsured motorist
claims.
Product
liability exists because manufacturers have a
legal responsibility of the safety to their consumers.
When consumers are injured or harmed by a product
while using it in its intended manner, product
liability is present. product liability does not
just include manufacturers but wholesalers, designers,
retailers, and anyone involved with the product
being sold to the consumer.
Over time
law has taken the stance of imposing strict liability
in regards to product liability on any individual
or company making defective products. The premise
of product liability assumes manufacturers and
product sellers must exercise a certain degree
of consumer protection. The failure to provide
warnings when knowledge of hazardous products
exists, not ensuring that a defective or malfunctioned
part is not used in their products, or a fault
exists that makes the product unsuitable for the
purposes of its purchase means that product liability
is present.
More common
product liability cases include a misrepresentation
in what the products are capable of by failing
to adequately warn of potential risks through
marketing or advertising, design defects, and
manufacturing errors. Product liability cases
can take shape in four different ways depending
on the injuries sustained and the specific defective
product. Strict product liability cases find everyone
involved in making the defective product accountable
for the injuries. Every injury that the consumer
experienced is the manufacturers or seller's responsibility
in strict product liability cases.
Other
product liability cases may involve negligence,
breach of warranty, or misrepresentation. A negligent
product liability case finds that the manufacturer
did not properly exercise enough care to avoid
consumer harm and injury. Breach of warranty product
liability is when the seller makes a claim that
is not supported. Product liability law anticipates
that when a company makes a claim they will follow
through with it. When a misrepresentation product
liability exists it finds the company used advertising
or marketing to enhance their product to appear
safer than it really is. Product liability attorneys
exist to defend the personal injuries sustained
by defective products.
