Product Liability Injury Cases Require Product Liability Lawyers.

We buy and use products every day. Coffee makers, hair dryers, glass containers, cars, toys, industrial machinery, farm equipment, ladders, swimming pools, medical devices, medication. Since a "product" is any manufactured good, the list is essentially endless. We trust that these products are safe and will not harm our loved ones or us. But, sometimes these products betray our trust and cause serious injury and even death.

As your products liability law firm, we know that bringing a product liability lawsuit is the consumer's most effective tactic against unreasonably dangerous products. While regulations overseen by the government often lack the necessary authority to give manufacturers much more than a slap on the wrist, bringing a product liability lawsuit allows the individual consumer to not only recover monetarily from an injury or death caused by a dangerous or defective product, but also take an active role in effecting changes to the market place.

Product liability law, also called "products liability," refers to the liability of any or all parties along the chain of commerce or distribution for damage caused by a product. From the top of the chain to the bottom, this includes the manufacturers of component parts, the assembling manufacturers, the wholesalers, and the retail store.

After a product defect causes an injury, Ohio's comprehensive product liability statutes allow product liability claims to be brought under essentially four different theories:

Design Defects: Liability arises from a mistake or oversight in the design of a product, which makes it dangerous when used as intended, or when used for another reasonably foreseeable purpose.

Manufacturing Defects: Liability arises from a defect that results from the manufacturing process.

Warning Defects: A warning defect involves such issues as inadequate warning labels or instructions, which, for example, prevent a user from recognizing a defect in the product, or from being aware of how to safely use or apply the product.

Breach of Warranty: A warranty is essentially a contract of fitness between a manufacturer or vendor and its customer. Under a breach of express warranty theory, the plaintiff alleges the violation of the actual written warranty associated with a product. Under a breach of implied warranty theory, the plaintiff alleges that although there is no express warranty or the defect alleged is not covered by the express warranty, a defect in the goods renders them unfit for the purpose intended.

Under Ohio's strict liability standard, once the victim establishes that a product is defective and that the defect caused the injury, liability results from these facts alone, no matter how much care was applied during design, manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of the product in question.
