How do I know if I have a product liability case?

In Georgia, either the person who was injured or the family of a person who has died as a result of a defective product can file a products liability claim if they can prove that the product was already dangerous when it left the manufacturer’s control and there was no warning to indicate the risk of unreasonable danger. Georgia law requires that manufacturers and sellers of products ensure that their products are not in any way defective or dangerous to users. Companies must provide proper warning if any part of their product is unsafe or if using the product in a certain way could be hazardous to the user’s safety or health. Many of the injuries or deaths that are the result of defective products could have been avoided if manufacturers designed better products and manufacturers and sellers of those products followed the law and properly warned users of product dangers.

There are several types of claims that can be made when injuries or death resulting from a product.

What is a defective product liability claim?

In an injury or death resulting from the defective design of a product, the claim is that the product functioned as it was designed but the design was negligent. That is a reasonable manufacturer should have known that the design of the product was defective, that it was foreseeable that the design could cause injury or death to the user of the product. Once a hazard, which is a condition that may cause injury or death, is identified in a product, the design engineer must follow an accepted design priority recognized by all design engineers in reducing the possibility of the dangerous condition of the product causing injury or death.

• The dangerous condition must be designed out of the product if such can be done without destroying the utility of the product. If this can’t be done then:
• The dangerous condition of the product must be guarded against. If the dangerous condition of the product can’t be guarded against then:
• A warning must be given that the dangerous condition of the product can cause injury or death
