Product liability claims are about faulty consumer goods that cause harm. Manufacturers and those involved in the distribution and sale of these products are held strictly liable, meaning victims and their attorneys do not have to prove negligence. If you suffered harm because of a dangerously defective product, discuss your claim with an experienced Santa Clarita product liability lawyer at Swift Justice, Inc. today.

Product liability claims can involve any of three basic categories of defect.
Some consumer goods are based on designs that are inherently dangerous. If the product leaves the design phase with foreseeable risks that exceed any benefit, it has a design defect.
These claims do not focus on the specific consumer good that harmed you but instead contend that the entire line of products is defective and dangerous due to its design, even though it conforms to manufacturing standards. When manufacturers produce goods that include a dangerous design flaw, they can be held responsible in product liability claims.
A product can also become defective during the manufacturing process. This means the product deviates from the design specifications set by the manufacturer.
Products with a defect that makes them different from the rest of the line have a manufacturing flaw. If this flaw leads to injuries that qualify as legal damages, there may be a viable product liability claim.
Some consumer products, such as medications and power tools, carry risks for the user. Manufacturers are required to provide consumers with the instructions necessary to consume or operate the product safely. They have a responsibility to attach all relevant warnings in a clear and prominent way.
