Michigan Product Liability Attorney

Product Defects and Product Liability Laws

Thousands of people are serious injured due to defective products every year. The manufacturers and sellers of products have an obligation to design and produce products that are free from dangerous defects. Unfortunately, for the sake of corporate profits, many products are not properly designed and are not properly tested before they are placed on the market. Consumers who purchase defective products or workers who work with faulty machinery pay the price with their health and, sometimes, with their lives. Federal and state governments have developed extensive and complex laws governing standards for product safety as well as recourse for victims of defective products. A Michigan personal injury attorney at Sommers Schwartz can investigate your claim and help you pursue fair compensation.

Types of Product Liability Cases

• Manufacturing Defects: A product such as a machine or an automobile may be defective because it was not manufactured properly. A critical weakness in the material used or an error in the way parts were assembled can cause the product to malfunction and accidents to occur. 

• Design Defects:  Manufacturers must design safe products for all of the product's foreseeable uses. The design of every product, from automobiles and airplanes to can openers and lawn mowers, must take into consideration how it will be used and who will use it. Improper design of a product can be the cause of injury or death. 

• Defective Warnings:  Manufacturers of products should know that a particular use of a product may pose certain dangers. Manufacturers have a duty to effectively communicate appropriate and necessary warnings as well. If a necessary warning is not available with the product or it is not effectively communicated, an injury or death may be the consequence.
