Types of Product Liability Cases in Delaware
There are many different types of product liability cases. Therefore, these legal matters are often quite complex and require the skill of an experienced attorney. The three main categories that a defective product case can fall into include the following:
- Design defects: If an individual who was responsible for the design of the product failed to account for safety when creating the design, consumers can become injured. Design defect cases are complicated because they require the injured party to prove that there is a safer, equally economically feasible way to design the product that still can be used as it was intended.
- Manufacturer defects: When the design of a product is completely safe but a manufacturer fails to follow the exact design, consumers can become seriously injured. For a successful manufacturer defect case, the injured party will have to fulfill the burden of proving that the manufacturer deviated from the approved design plan.
- Failure to warn: If a product is used in a way that it was not intended to be used, a consumer can become injured. Consumers rely on warning labels to keep them safe from the misuse of a product. The defendant may be held liable if the injured party can prove that there was a failure to adequately warn of potential dangers from misusing the product and it caused serious injury.
