Product Liability

Unsafe and Defective Products in Alabama

No person imagines that a product they purchase from a reputable retailer would seriously injure them. In fact, manufacturers must adhere to a host of safety regulations when distributing their products to consumers. However, products may sometimes be defective and cause life-changing injuries to their users. Product liability refers to holding these manufacturers, distributors, and designers liable for the injuries caused by their dangerous and defective product.

Automobile Product Liability

Automakers must design cars and trucks to withstand stringent federal crashworthiness standards. For example, the government requires automobiles to protect occupants in a car accident or SUV rollover. Our firm is more than willing to file a product liability claim against auto designers, manufactures, and distributors, on behalf of our clients who are seriously injured. Some of the more common claims against the automobile industry relate to:

• Defective seat belts and air bags
• Collapses in automobile roofs
• Unsafe automotive windshields
• Malfunctioning door latches
• Improperly designed fuel systems
• Defective tires

Strict liability is one legal theory which can hold an automaker or product manufacturer responsible for the injuries that their products caused. In this type of claim, you have no need to prove intent on the part of the manufacturer or designer. As long as they sold unsafe products to an unknowing consumer, the law imposes liability upon them.

Other types of defective product claims we have seen include:

• Workplace machinery and tools
• Dangerous tools
• Household appliances
• Defective firearms
• Defective recreational equipment such as boats, three wheelers and single-engine airplanes

The safe design and construction of products sold to the public is extremely important. We want to help you hold a negligent party liable for their conduct.
