Hartford, Connecticut: Injuries Caused by Defective Products
Product liability is a legal term used to describe a product (something) used by you or a family member that a company(ies) designs, manufactures and sells which caused an injury to you or a loved one. The designer, manufacturer and/or seller are responsible, to a certain extent, to make sure the products are not defective, safe and do not cause injury or death.
If you get hurt by a defective or dangerous product - whether it's something you use at home or work, whether a toy, a power tool or industrial machinery - you may be able to bring a product liability lawsuit.

How Do Defective Product Lawsuits Work?
There are three main ways a company may be legally responsible for injuries or a wrongful death in a defective product case:
- Defective or negligent design: The company that designed the product may be legally responsible, if the product could have been designed in a different way-- so as to prevent the injury. Missing safety features are a common example of negligent design.
- Manufacturing defects: Even if a product is designed well, mistakes at the manufacturing plant can make a safe product dangerous product. If the product was not built according to specifications or was missing a component that other batches of the same product had, that may be a sign of product liability. Product recall notices are often signs that a company has learned of a manufacturing defect.
- Lack of sufficient warnings: Product manufacturers must warn consumers about hidden dangers in any particular product. Manufacturers are also required to provide adequate instructions about how to properly use the product to avoid injuries. Product sellers also have a legal duty to warn consumers about any hidden dangers they learn about. If either the warnings or instructions are defective or incomplete, it may help prove your product liability case.
