Product liability lawsuits hold manufacturers, distributors, and/or sellers of defective products responsible when they cause injury or death. Defective products are responsible for thousands of men, women and children being seriously hurt or killed each year.
Without the hard work and dedication of product defect attorneys, companies would be free to make products that pose unreasonable dangers to you and your family. This means you and your family are safer because of these lawsuits and the juries that hold them responsible.
A product liability claims usually falls within one of three categories:
Product liability cases can be premised on common law negligence (where you must prove negligence) or strict liability (where negligence does not need to be proven). Sometimes, product liability claims can also be premised on contractual theories such as breach of warranty. In addition, the three types of product defect cases can overlap, resulting in multiple theories alleged in the same lawsuit. A St. Louis product defect lawyer can determine what kind of case you have.
Missouri product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors and sellers of defective products responsible for the safety of their products. Missouri statute 537.760 defines a “product liability claim” as one where:
Under Missouri law, if you buy a defective product from a retailer like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc., statute 537.762 allows for the seller to be dismissed from the lawsuit as long as a “total” recovery can be had from the manufacturer. Note this law may result in the seller remaining in the lawsuit if the manufacturer is a) not in the lawsuit, or b) is in the lawsuit, but a “total” recovery cannot be had, meaning if the manufacturer has limited assets or insurance, the seller may be held responsible.
You may not recognize if you have a seller liability or products liability claim, and that’s fine! Schedule a consultation with the St. Louis defective product lawyer at our firm and learn your options.
Defective products have claimed thousands of lives and injured thousands of people. Thankfully, through the hard work of defective product attorneys and the federal government passing regulations controlling how certain products are manufactured manufacturers, distributors and sellers of dangerous products are forced to stop selling these products or made to make the products safer for consumer use.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is a federal agency, which requires manufacturers self report instances involving personal injury or death. According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, product defects have caused over twenty thousand deaths and almost 30 million injuries. In our experience, however, manufacturers intentionally subvert mandatory reporting by entering into confidential settlements with individuals hurt by their defective products. Any product defect lawyer handling these cases must know the CPSC loopholes to expose instances of intentional concealment (lying) to the CPSC.
