Holding Negligent Parties Responsible for Your Injuries

Product liability is that area of law which holds the manufacturers, sellers, suppliers, retailers, and distributors responsible for any injuries their products cause:

• Manufacturers
• Sellers
• Suppliers
• Retailers
• Distributors

If you or someone you love has been injured by a dangerous product, we urge you to contact a Shreveport product liability lawyer from Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers to discuss the specifics of your case and to find out if you have a valid product liability claim!

Which Type of Product Liability Claim Fits My Case?

The three main types of product liability claims include:

• Manufacturing defects
• Defective design
• Failure to warn

Some major products that we see most often include:

• Children's toys
• Medical devices
• Auto parts

To further explain, a manufacturing defect would be one that occurred during the manufacturing process, and this often involves poor quality materials or poor workmanship. With a design defect, the design itself was inherently defective and useless, regardless of how well it was manufactured. A defective design can be established when the product fails to satisfy its ordinary expectations or when the risks of using the product far outweigh the benefits.

With a failure to warn defect, the product can carry inherent, yet not obvious, dangers which could have been minimized had there been appropriate warnings to the user. In such cases, these dangers exist no matter how well the product was manufactured or how well it was designed for its intended purpose.

Unfortunately, thousands of innocent men, women, and children are seriously injured every year by dangerous and defective products that have been released on the consumer market. While any product can be dangerous from a curling iron to your child's cough medicine, it's not uncommon for dangerous and defective toys, children's products, pharmaceutical drugs, automobile parts, and tools to be removed from the market because of their risks to the consumer.
