When we buy products, we are putting trust in the manufacturers and the distributors that this product is safe for us to use. If there is something about the product that is dangerous, we trust that there will be a warning for this danger. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Sometimes things “slip through the cracks” and can prove to be a danger to those who use the product. An unreasonably dangerous product can cause serious injury, or even worse, death. If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to a product that was defective in some way, you may have a product liability claim and be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

If you believe that you have a product liability case, contact an experienced product liability lawyer. Darl Champion at The Champion Firm, P.C., has worked on cases involving a variety of different products.

We want to help you through the entire process and put your trust back into the products that you are buying and using.

Types of Product Liability Cases in Atlanta

Product liability cases come in many different forms, including the following:

MANUFACTURING DEFECT
We have all heard about a product being recalled. This occurs when the manufacturer or distributing company has noticed or been alerted to some sort of defect that may be dangerous or harmful to anyone who uses it. Proving a manufacturing defect can be difficult and expensive. If you are injured by a product, it is important that you keep the product and prevent it from being altered in any way so that your product liability attorney and any potential experts can inspect it.

DESIGN DEFECT
While manufacturing defects generally come from a safe product with faulty manufacturing, design defects are different. A design defect case is a type of product liability claim where the design of the product itself is alleged to be unreasonably dangerous. In this type of case, a product can be considered defective, even if it was made as it was intended to be made. All product liability cases are difficult, but design defect cases are particularly difficult because the manufacturer’s design decisions are being challenged. As with all product liability cases, design defect cases require a skilled product liability attorney to investigate and pursue them.

INADEQUATE WARNINGS
While manufacturing defects and design defects are very similar, inadequate warnings are a completely different side of product liability cases. These occur when a product lacks the appropriate warnings and instructions that are needed for safe use. Manufacturers do not have an obligation to warn about every potential danger associated with a product, such as those that are open and obvious to the user or dangers that result from an unforeseeable use of the product. However, manufacturers should provide adequate warnings and instructions of dangers that are known to the manufacturer and reasonably foreseeable. If you are injured because a product lacked proper warnings or instructions, you may be entitled to compensation through a product liability case.
