Factors in Product Liability Claims

Product Liability Attorneys in Oklahoma
Defects that occur during the manufacturing process can make a product unreasonably dangerous.

Although the range of products that can cause harm is broad, most product liability cases relate to one of three types of flaws: design defects, manufacturing defects or warning defects.

Understanding a little about the three basic types of product defects can help you determine whether you may have a valid product liability claim:

  • Design defects: Flaws in a product’s design make it unreasonably dangerous
  • Manufacturing defects: Faults in the manufacturing process contaminate the product or otherwise make it unreasonably dangerous
  • Warning defects: The manufacturer or seller of the product fails to provide adequate warnings about the product’s risks or instructions for the product’s proper use

It’s important to note a successful product liability case must establish the product was defective and the product defect caused the resulting injury or illness. 

Elements of Product Liability Cases

The plaintiff of a product liability case is the individual, or individuals, who suffered harm caused by a defective product.

The defendant is typically the product’s manufacturer, but depending on the nature of the defect and the circumstances of the resulting harm, the defendant or defendants in a product liability case may include the product’s designer, supplier, distributor, marketer, seller or repairer.

To recover damages in a product liability case, you must prove four key elements:

  • You were injured or suffered losses
  • You were using the product in a foreseeable way
  • The product in question is defective based on at least one of the factors detailed above
  • The defect caused your injury or illness

As with other types of personal injury cases, time is of the essence in product liability claims. Injury victims must file lawsuits within the applicable statute of limitations, which is a deadline to pursue a legal claim. In Oklahoma, plaintiffs have two years from the date they knew or should have known about their injury or illness to file a product liability lawsuit.

Compensation for injury victims in product liability cases may include money for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages or loss of earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability
