Three Categories of Dangerous Products Claims
- Breach of Warranty: Breach of warranty is based on contract law and does not require proof of negligence or fault on the part of the manufacturer. Hales & Associates, A Professional Law Corporation can help you receive compensation if you are injured or your property is damaged while using a product which did not satisfy the terms of its warranty.
- Negligence: The responsible party may be held liable due to negligence if you are injured because a manufacturer or seller did not exercise reasonable care in the design, manufacture, inspection or testing of a product.
- Strict Liability: Under the theory of strict liability, the injured party only needs to demonstrate that the product is defective due to design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn of defects that existed prior to the manufacturer’s release of the product.
