Product Liability
Thousands of people are injured each year in the U.S. because of a defective product. Fortunately, product manufacturers are held to a high standard of care when designing, assembling, and selling their products. In some states., manufacturers are held "strictly liable" for injuries that result from use of their products. This means that they are legally liable to pay damages if the use of their product results in injury to a consumer.
Product manufacturers are held strictly liable for the following types of product defects:
- Design defects
- Manufacturing defects
- Inadequate warning label defects
Michigan, however, has adopted rules, which make it more difficult to maintain a legal action against a manufacturer of a dangerous product. Therefore, it is important that you seek out an experienced Michigan product liability attorney to help you with the analysis and preparation of your Michigan product liability case.
