Product Liability Lawyer in Hilton Head

A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous to the user when used for its intended purpose. Types of product defects include: 

• Defective Design: A product may be inherently defective due to an improper design. A defectively designed product will always be unreasonably dangerous, regardless of how it is manufactured or used.
• Defective Manufacture: Though an item may have been designed properly, a defect may exist due to the manufacturing process. Only items manufactured in the defective manner will have a defect.
• Defective Marketing: Though an item may not be inherently defective, it may be promoted or marketed in a way that encourages customers to use it in an unsafe manner or for an unsafe purpose.  Also, it may come with insufficient warnings or instructions.

In many cases, the manufacturer will ultimately bear responsibility for a defective product, but often other parties may be found liable, such as third-party designers, retailers, or installers.

It’s not always easy to identify why a product caused an injury or which party is legally responsible for the harm caused, but an experienced Morgan & Morgan attorney can help. Product liability cases can be complicated, and we’re here to help.
