Liability in a Product Liability Case – Who is Responsible if I am Injured by a Dangerous or Defective Product?
In a product liability claim, liability hinges on proving that the product causing harm was defective, or dangerous. This may be due to design flaws, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings or instructions.
A manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be responsible for damages, depending on the incident. You must demonstrate that the product was used as intended and the defect directly caused your injuries. Liability is not dependent on the manufacturer’s negligence; rather, it’s based on the product being inherently unsafe when used as intended.
To prove liability in the case of a defective product, your lawyer at Jassim Law will conduct an investigation and obtain evidence, which may include the following:
- Product preservation: Keep the product as-is, without using or repairing it, and store it safely.
- Proof of purchase: Collect receipts or documentation of where and when the product was bought.
- Document injuries: Thoroughly record any injuries or damages, including photos, medical records, and related expenses.
- Witness statements: Gather testimonies from witnesses to support your account of the incident.
- Expert testimony: Utilize experts to explain the product defects and their link to the injury.
- Advertising materials: Use any misleading manufacturer claims about the product to strengthen your case.
Given the time-sensitive nature of evidence in product liability cases, contacting Jassim Law promptly is essential. We will begin gathering and evaluating all relevant evidence immediately, ensuring we establish fault and pinpoint the liable party effectively.
