Product liability refers to the legal responsibility that manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers have if a product they create or sell causes harm to a consumer. These cases arise when a product is defective or unreasonably dangerous and results in injury or damage.
Product liability claims generally fall into three main categories:
Defective products can span a wide range of categories. At Burnetti, P.A., we have extensive experience handling cases involving:
Faulty auto parts can lead to serious accidents. Common defects include malfunctioning brakes, defective airbags, and tire blowouts.
Defective medical devices, such as faulty pacemakers or hip implants, can lead to severe health complications. Manufacturers must ensure these devices are safe and effective.
Dangerous side effects or improper labeling of pharmaceutical drugs can lead to severe health issues. Patients rely on these drugs to improve their health, and defects can be life-threatening.
Products designed for children, such as toys, car seats, and cribs, must adhere to strict safety standards. Defects in these products can result in serious injuries.
Household items like appliances, cleaning products, and tools can cause injuries if they are defective or improperly labeled. Manufacturers have a duty to ensure these products are safe for consumer use.
“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”
