Product Liability Lawyer in Bowling Green

A product liability claim is a civil lawsuit that holds a manufacturer liable for injuries sustained by a consumer. It should be noted that anyone who suffers an injury because of an unreasonably dangerous item may file a claim, not just its owner.

Types of Product Liability Claims

Product liability claims generally fall into one of four main categories: defectively manufactured products, defectively engineered products, marketing defects, and failure to warn or instruct.

• Defectively Manufactured Products: A defectively manufactured product contains a flaw not in its blueprint design but rather in its individualized manufacturing. In other words, the defective product is different from the other ones on the shelf due to an unique error in its production. As with any Kentucky product liability case, persons wishing to file a claim involving a defectively manufactured project must be able to show that there was a defect, that the defect caused their injuries, and that their own negligence did not play a part.
• Defectively Designed Products: Defectively designed products are those with inherently dangerous or defective design models. Unlike defectively manufactured products, in which only singular instances of the product are faulty, products with a design defect contain an error in their engineering or blueprints. In these cases, the entire line of products is defective and/or dangerous.
• Marketing Defects: Marketing defects claims typically involve products that have been falsely or incorrectly advertised. Most commonly, these types of claims are filed against pharmaceutical companies who advertise that a drug or medical product can be used in an unapproved and dangerous function, or a company that claims its product is safe when it is aware it's not.
• Failure to Warn or Instruct: Claims concerning failure to warn or instruct are typically filed against manufacturing companies that neglect to provide adequate warnings, instructions, or any otherwise necessary information about a product which deviates from the commonly marketed model. If the average customer believes a product should behave a certain way and it does not, the manufacturer has a responsibility to notify the customer of the difference to avoid problems.
