Product liability in Augusta, Georgia

Product liability in Augusta, Georgia

Product liability in Augusta, Georgia is usually described as the liability of a manufacturer, or other party in the chain of distribution, for personal injury, property damage or economic loss caused by the sale or use of a product.

Product liability cases in Augusta, Georgia often combine a confusing array of theories, which can include:
• negligence in the design, manufacture or marketing of a product;
• strict liability in the design, manufacture or marketing of a product;
• breach of an express or implied warranty about the product;
• negligent or fraudulent misrepresentations about the product; or
• violation of a state consumer protection statute.

For purposes of product liability, the term ‘product’ is not confined to the final product alone. Rather, ancillary items that impact either consumer expectations or product safety may become part of the product itself.

Product liability is not confined to manufacturers of finished products, but affects all parties within the chain of distribution. A product liability lawsuit may be brought against not only manufacturers of products and their component parts, but various entities associated with the marketing, distribution and application of the product such as distributors, dealers, representatives, retailers and, even, purchasers or employers.
