Losing a loved one due to the negligence of others can be devastating for the loved ones. Unexpected loss due to the use of a defective product can result in significant pain and suffering for the family and friends of the deceased.
Product manufacturers and distributors have the responsibility to ensure the safety of the products that the customers will use. If the company neglects this duty and produces defective products, causing the death of a consumer, their loved ones have the right to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible company for defective products.
Our experienced wrongful death lawyers at Bourassa Law Group can help you through this difficult time by filing the claim on your behalf.
What is a Defective Product?
Products with major or minor malfunctions that cause severe injuries and fatalities among consumers are defective products. These can be caused by the following:
- Incorrect manufacturing of the product
- Faulty design of the product
- Insufficient or no earnings or instructions for safely using the product
Some major defective products might include children’s highchairs or cribs, medical or pharmaceutical devices, industrial equipment and tools, vehicle parts, or sporting equipment.
Common Defective Product Liability Claims
Product liability claims can be divided into three main categories:
- Marketing Defects: This could mean a lack of safety warnings and sufficient instructions
- Design Defects: This means there was a fault or defect in the design of the product even if the manufacturing process followed the safety measures
- Manufacturing Defects: This indicates a fault in the manufacturing process
