Philadelphia Product Liability Lawyer

When purchasing a product from a store, buying a new car, or taking prescription medicine, as a consumer you hold a level of trust that these products have been tested to ensure its safety. Many times, however, negligence from manufacturing companies puts innocent consumers at risk by distributing defective products out on the market without following proper safety protocols. When injuries have been suffered as the result of the use or consumption of a good, a product liability claim should be pursued, and the measures taken prior to distribution of these products on the market should be questioned. The Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin will fight to recover all of the compensations that you deserve.

There are literally millions of products on the market. Some are safe, others are not. The law protects consumers from harmful products using a legal theory called strict liability for Defective Products. In simple terms, if you are able to prove that a product was unsafe, and, therefore, defective, then you are able to recover for your damages. Here are some examples of products which can fail and cause injuries:

• Food
• Seatbelts
• Car airbags
• Household items, like blenders
• Children’s toys
• Clothing
• Furniture
• Cookware
• Bicycles
• Skateboards
• Hover boards

Failure to Warn

One way that injuries are compensated in defective product litigation is by the manufacturer failing to warn of the harmful or dangerous potential of its product. Failure to warn the consumer can cause harm to that person. Lack of understandable instructions or lack of a warning of the dangers of the product all fall on the manufacturer in terms of liability.

Design Defect

Sometimes the product that you are purchasing is designed so poorly that it causes injury. In this type of defective products case, the theory is that the product design renders every single one defective. This takes the help of experts in order to prove that the design was flawed, and you need to prove that a feasible alternative could have been manufactured which would have been safe.

Manufacturing Defect

This is another way that products can be defective. In this case, we say that the item in the manufacturing process was defective. This means that the single item had a flaw, and not that all the items are flawed (like we do with design defects). Perhaps a shoe that was manufactured was turned in the wrong way by a machine, and the sole was improperly glued. Consequently, the sole fractures and you injure yourself. This is a manufacturing defect. The defect does not apply to all the shoes that have been manufactured, just this one.
