Types of Liability Claims

Manufacturing Defects – This occurs when the product is actually being built or put together.  It is classified as a manufacturing defect when the product causing the injury does not adhere to the product’s design specifications.  Manufacturing defects occur in instances where a manufacturer uses inferior materials, inadequate or faulty machinery, where there is poor quality control or inspections, or where the employees are not adequately trained or supervised. 

Design Defect – This occurs when the design of the product is inherently dangerous at the time of creation.  To succeed on a design defect claim, it must be shown that a change in the design could have prevented the injury.  In other words, that there was a safer alternative design that could have been used at the time of design.  In a design defect case, because the product’s design is itself dangerous, the injury would have occurred no matter how it was manufactured.

Failure to Warn – When a manufacturer knows that there are risks associated with the use of their products, they have a duty to warn users of those products.  This is particularly true where the risks are not obvious to the user.  Where a manufacturer knows of a risk posed by their products, and they fail to provide adequate warnings to the users, this allows an injured person to bring a claim for failure to warn.  

Breach of Warranty — Breach of warranty occurs when a product fails to perform as represented by the manufacturer (or seller) and causes injury.  A breach of warranty claim exists as a result of a direct transaction between the buyer and seller. There are several types of breach of warranty based product liability claims.
