Serious Injury Lawyer Macon Georgia – GA
In very broad terms, a product may be defective as the result of a manufacturing flaw, a
defective design, or inadequate warnings or instructions. Applying these principles to practice, products liability cases are generally brought under one or more of the following five theories, which in legal terms, are called “causes of action”:
(1) Defective manufacture;
(2) Defective design;
(3) Failure to warn;
(4) Negligence; and,
(5) Breach of warranty.
If the injury has been caused by a defective product, the plaintiff must demonstrate the following: (a) the product’s utility to the public as a whole and to the individual user; (b) the likelihood that the product will cause injury; (c) the availability (and feasibility) of a safer alternative design; and, (d) the degree of awareness of the product’s potential danger that can reasonably be attributed to the injured user.
A manufacturer must warn consumers about the latent, or hidden, dangers that are associated with a consumer’s foreseeable use of its product — even if the particular use is an unintended one, and even if the product is not otherwise defective. In order to prevail on this theory, the plaintiff will have to prove that if adequate warnings had been provided, the injury would not have occurred. As a practical matter, this burden is often difficult to meet, because the defenses to this claim are typically quite formidable.
