Faulty products can result in personal injury claims in Lakewood Ranch, Fl. Personal injuries can arise from a situation where injury was caused by a product defect. If you sustained injuries resulting from the purchase of a defective standard consumer product, then you may be able to pursue product liability compensation claim against the manufacturers of the product.

Any personal injury claim that is pursued as a result of a defective product is not only pursuable against the manufacturer or supplier of the product, but also against companies and individuals through which the goods have passed like stores, wholesalers and retail stores.

Here are some of the top questions and answers relating to product liability for personal injury claims:

• What actually constitutes a product defect? The lawyer handling the personal injury claim will need to prove that the product in question was defective. A defect is a deficiency that will render a product unsafe to use for its intended uses.
• Is there a difference between a negligence claim and a strict liability claim? A product liability negligence claim is where the plaintiff must prove that the defendant failed to exercise proper care while manufacturing or providing the product to the consumer market. Each group involved in the chain of distribution must exercise reasonable care – these include the manufacturer, designer and seller of the product. In a strict liability case the plaintiff is not required to prove any violation of the standard of care. The defendant is thus responsible for any defects in the products that threaten the consumer’s person or property’s safety.
• What exactly is a breach of warranty products liability claim? A warranty is an express or implied assurance of fact enforceable by law against the person who made the warranty. Products liability law is only concerned with three types of warranties relating to a product’s fitness for use: express warranties, implied warrant of merchantability and the implied warranty of fitness purpose. The personal injury lawyers will need to prove that the manufacturer did not honor these warranties.
