Product Liability Accidents & Injuries in Akron

In the course of creating a product to sell to consumers, any number of things can go wrong. The machine constructing it might leave rough edges, or the product’s marketing team might engage in false advertising. While there are a number of reasons a product might malfunction, cases of product liability are similar. Each product liability case involves a defective product, an injury caused by that product, and a party responsible for the product malfunction.

In general, product defects can be placed into one of the categories listed below:

Marketing Defects

This type of malfunction typically involves inaccurate warranties and false advertising. When a warranty makes promises that are not kept, injuries can result. You might also be hurt when you try to use a product as shown in a commercial, and it does not function as expected.

Defectos de fabricación

When a product is being put together, there may not be adequate quality control. This lack of oversight can lead to a number of product defects, such as unstable assembly, sharp edges, and the inclusion of toxic materials.

Defectos de diseño

Sometimes the flaw in a product can be traced back to the beginning. Much can go wrong when a product is being conceived. For example, the item might work in theory but completely malfunction once it is produced.

Types of Product Liability

Both state and federal law require commercial producers to maintain certain safety standards. If these laws are broken when a defective product harms someone, those responsible can be held accountable in court. While the law is designed to protect consumers, it is often difficult to prove a case of product liability in court. As a result, product liability attorneys use theories or explanations that can be used to prove that a person or company should be held liable for a person’s injuries.

Theories of product liability include, but are not limited to:

Strict Liability

This theory utilizes the protections outlined in the Consumer Protection Act, which state that companies have a professional obligation to protect the safety of consumers. If a defective product hurts you, the company should be held accountable.

Misrepresentation

Often, a product is shown doing things it cannot do. This is false advertising. If you attempt to use a product as shown in an advertisement and hurt yourself, you have a right to seek funds from the company responsible.

Warranty

A warranty is a document that outlines how a product is supposed to function. When these documents are untruthful or lie by omission, the company responsible can be held liable for any deaths or injuries resulting.

Negligence

In certain cases, the company producing a product may act or fail to act in such a way that injury is caused. Failure to take reasonable care or to properly investigate complaints may be a negligent activity for which a company can be held liable.

Compensation for Defective Products in Akron

If you were harmed due to the negligence or irresponsibility of another person, you may choose to seek funds through a personal injury lawsuit. While this is an effective method for gaining compensation, the legal system can be difficult to navigate. In court, you must prove that a product malfunction caused by either a person or a company took place. You must also establish that the malfunctioning product directly caused your injuries.

What to Expect for a Defective Product Injury?

You might be able to obtain funds by pursuing the following losses:

  • Dolor y sufrimiento
  • Gastos médicos
  • Limitaciones físicas
  • Desfiguración
  • Pérdida de ingresos
  • Angustia mental

If a defective product killed your loved one, you may be able to obtain funds for the following through a wrongful death lawsuit:

  • Gastos de funeral y entierro
  • Pérdida de ingresos
  • Pérdida de bienestar y de vida social
  • Pérdida de una herencia futura
