When we purchase any product from a store or online retailer, we trust that it will work properly, safely, and as intended. Unfortunately, sometimes products turn out to be dangerous and leave us with life-changing injuries.
In Louisiana, the law holds manufacturers and retailers of defective or unreasonably dangerous products responsible for the harm that they cause. Manufacturers have a legal duty to address or warn users of all dangers that may arise from the use of their products. When they fail to do so, they may be held responsible for compensating injured victims for the damages they suffer.
If you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, including one subject to a product recall, you need help from an experienced Baton Rouge product liability lawyer. Contact Tomeny | Best Injury Lawyers today to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to learn more about your rights and options for seeking the financial compensation and justice that you need and deserve.
A product liability lawsuit is a legal claim that seeks to hold anyone involved in the chain of manufacture of a product responsible for damages or injuries caused by that product.
Parties in the chain of manufacture may include the manufacturers of components of a product or the entire product itself, the manufacturer who assembles the final product, the wholesaler/distributor, the retailer, and potentially others.
A product liability lawsuit typically asserts that the parties in the chain of manufacture or commerce made some err in the design, manufacture, or sale of a product, such that their negligence created an unreasonably dangerous product that injured a user. Although a product liability lawsuit may allege that an at-fault party was negligent in the design, production, or distribution and sale of an unreasonably dangerous item, it may not be necessary to prove negligence.
Instead, a product liability lawsuit can be based on a strict liability claim. In other words, it may be necessary to prove only that a product was defective or unreasonably dangerous, regardless of a manufacturer’s, wholesalers, or retailer’s intent or whether they exercised reasonable care.
Product liability lawsuits are very complex and technical, making assistance from a defective product lawyer a must.
Any manufactured product is susceptible to being defective, regardless of whether it was defectively designed, suffered a defect during manufacturing, or did not come with sufficient instructions or warnings.
Some categories of products are more likely to cause injuries to their users. Some of the most common defective product claims that Tomeny | Best Injury Lawyers handles include:
