Indianapolis Product Liability Lawyer

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), more than 29.5 million people are injured each year as a result of defective products. If a defective product causes serious personal injury, product liability laws enable victims to sue manufacturers, sellers or distributors for damages. Dangerous products that may cause injury are generally categorized as those with a design, manufacturing or marketing defect.

Defective products may include, but are not limited to:

  • A helmet that broke or did not work properly
  • A seat belt that did not work in a crash
  • A household appliance that shocked its owner
  • An extension cord that caught fire
  • A trailer whose lift system malfunctioned

Dangerous products that may cause injury are generally categorized as those with a design, manufacturing, or marketing defect.

  • Design defects: A defective product is considered to have a design defect when a flaw in the product's design makes it unreasonably dangerous. Design-defect product liability claims often require proof of negligence; however, strict liability may be imposed for an unreasonably dangerous design if the plaintiff can present evidence that there was a cost-effective alternative design that would have prevented the risk of injury.
  • Manufacturing defects: A defective product has a manufacturing defect when the product does not conform to the designer's specifications. Manufacturing defects are generally considered to be among the easiest product liability claims to prove because the product's design can be used to show the product was defective.
  • Marketing defects: Marketing defects are flaws in the way a product is marketed, such as improper labeling, insufficient or incorrect instructions, or inadequate safety warnings. A negligent or intentional misrepresentation in the marketing of a product may also give rise to a product liability claim.

Our attorneys have extensive experience handling defective product lawsuits and a proven record of success winning favorable settlements and jury awards for our clients. We are dedicated to helping you obtain compensation for the damages you have sustained.
