Design Defects

A defective product may be considered to have a design defect when a flaw in its design makes it unreasonably dangerous. These defects exist before the product is ever manufactured or sold. In these cases, negligence on the part of the product designer must be proven; our product liability lawyers must demonstrate that the designer ignored safer alternatives when designing the product.

Manufacturing Defects

When a product has not met the specifications of the designer after production, it may be considered to have a manufacturing defect. Manufacturing defects are considered to be among the easiest product liability claims to prove because the product’s design can be used to show that the construction was defective and that negligence occurred.

Marketing Defects

A defective product may be considered to have a marketing defect when it is promoted in such a way that fails to warn consumers about the possible hazards of using the product. These claims may involve improper labeling, insufficient or incomprehensible instructions, or inadequate safety warnings.
