Products Liability
When people are injured while using a product, they often sue the companies that produced or distributed the product, even though the alleged defect may have occurred at any point in the chain of commerce. A products liability plaintiff does not have to prove negligence or fault on the part of the defendant, and a defendant can even potentially be found liable when a plaintiff was injured while using the product in an unsafe manner. Defending this type of lawsuit involves proving that the given product was safely made and misused by the plaintiff, or that his or her injury was sustained due to another cause. Product Liability litigation can take many forms, from catastrophic personal injury claims to complex tort actions and class actions.
