PRODUCT LIABILITY

Product liability refers to a manufacturer or seller being held liable for placing a defective product into the hands of a consumer.  Responsibility for a product defect that causes injury lies with all sellers of the product who are in the distribution chain.

The law requires that a product meet the ordinary expectations of the consumer.  When a product has an unexpected defect or danger, the product cannot be said to meet those ordinary expectations.

Product liability actions are often quite complex, and require the assistance and testimony of experts.  There are several theories under which a Plaintiff might bring a claim, and several defenses in which that claim might be challenged or defeated.  The Bregman Law Firm, P.C. has the skill and resources to effectively and aggressively pursue defective products claims.
