Products are supposed to function properly and be safe to use. In the United States, consumers can reasonably expect this to be true. When a product is defective and causes injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for these damages. If you are in this situation, hiring a Wyoming defective product attorney is the first step on your road to recovery.
A product is anything that is sold, except real estate and services. A defective product case can arise with the proper use of any product.
Food products sold in supermarkets or restaurants and drug products sold by prescription or over-the- counter are frequently the cause of a defective product case. Machinery used for a business, in the home, or on the farm is another commonly defective product which may cause injury.
Anyone who manufactures or sells a defective product or whose products have labels which fail to warn you about the hazards to be expected with improper use may be responsible for damages their products cause. If you are injured by a defective product, a Wyoming defective product attorney may be able to recover monetary compensation for your injuries.
Typical defective product cases include, but are not limited to:
Generally, product defects fall into one of two categories; manufacturing defects and design defects. Both can cause injury, and each can result in responsibility for damages.
Manufacturing defects occur when a product is assembled. Normally these types of defects are only present in a small percentage of a company’s inventory. A manufacturer is ultimately liable for any manufacturing defects which result from faulty construction. To prove this liability, a Wyoming defective product attorney must usually show the defect was present when the product left the factory.
A design defect is present before the product is ever manufactured or assembled. Most design defects will be present in a company’s entire inventory and are unreasonably dangerous to the consumer. A qualified attorney will attempt to prove the design posed a danger before production, the manufacturer could have anticipated the hazard their design posed, and better designs were available.
Manufacturers and sellers of products are responsible for warning consumers of potential hazards associated with their merchandise. If a product injures you and that injury could have been prevented by a warning, or following the warning contributed to your damages you should contact a Wyoming defective product attorney today.
