Types of Product Defects
For a product liability (area of law defective products fall under) claim to be filed, a product must possess a design, manufacturing or marketing defect. When a product possesses a design defect, the product is dangerous when used as directed or when used for another acceptable purpose. A product that is designed correctly, but is produced poorly can possess a manufacturing defect. Products that are not labeled correctly, do not have adequate instructions or do not warn consumers of the dangers associated with the product may possess a marketing defect.
At Estey Bomberger, our Bakersfield defective product attorneys will thoroughly investigate how and why an accident occurred to determine what defect (or defects) a product possessed. Once we have determined the cause of an accident, we can hold the manufacturer accountable for failing to provide consumers with a safe product. Victims of defective products may be entitled to monetary compensation from the manufacturer. Compensation for medical care expenses, disability, emotional anguish, physical pain, and past, current and future lost wages may be awarded in a personal injury claim. In cases where a manufacturer exhibited gross negligence, punitive damages may also be awarded.
