Defective Products
Companies that place defective goods or services in the hands of consumers create an environment for injury and can be sued under state laws for manufacturing and design defects. Typical defective product claims are those involving defective design or defective manufacturing. In some cases the design of the product was expected to be safe but turned out to be unsafe, causing injury or death. In other cases, the design is safe, but a failure during the manufacturing process introduced a dangerous condition. Marketing defects also apply to product liability lawsuits as well as lawsuits due to a manufacturer’s failure to warn the public of a known defective product. Liability for a dangerous product can range from the designing engineer, the assembler, the manufacturer, or the retail store owner. Defective product liability lawsuits are typically based on strict liability and negligence.
Unfortunately for the unsuspecting consumer and general population, often the manufacturer was aware of the dangerous defect long before they informed the public of the dangers. There are usually volumes of internal documentation; a paper trail that documents the manufacturer’s investigation, inspirations, and proposed schemes designed to hide the truth from eventual disclosure. The paper trail is the personal diary of the manufacturer, recording the product manufacturer’s priorities and knowledge before they thought anyone was looking. Trials involving defective products are typically long, complex, and extremely expensive, pitting helpless innocent (often financially destitute) injured victims against well-financed, potentially politically powerful corporations. The Trial Lab has a long history of holding bad-acting corporations to account for putting profits over people, often obtaining substantial punitive damages verdicts against bad-acting corporations in an effort to deter and punish defective product manufacturers for their abhorrent conduct.
