Defective products are everywhere these days, and these products can appear on the market in many forms. As a result, defective products liability claims are on the rise, as these defective products generally cause very serious injuries.
There are two legal theories that comprise product liability law, and one of the leading causes of injury due to defective products is the concept of crashworthiness/auto defects. Each of these tenets is explained below.
The two leading legal theories within these types of claims are
A product has a defective design when its inherent structure and function create an unreasonable risk of injury. Basically, this means that every product unit manufactured is defective, even if any individual unit is properly built. An example would be the product "Jarts," which used to be built with metal tips, but after injuries resulted from the use of Jarts, the design was changed.
This theory is relevant when one unit of an otherwise-safe product is improperly manufactured, thus creating an unreasonable risk for the consumer. An example would be a hair dryer with a loose power cord, which can lead to sparks, fire, shocks and other injuries.
Crashworthiness auto product defects is one of the fastest-growing types of claims within products liability law. Due to extreme market competition, new car models are appearing on the market with regularity. As a result of this rush to innovate, many of these models are not properly designed for safety. Crashworthiness/auto defects have been the cause of thousands of injuries and deaths every year in the United States, and the US Government has stepped in to require strict recall procedures when a model's design is found to be unsafe.
In regards to how crashworthiness/auto defects are classified under product liability law, thousands of justifiable claims have been brought under both theories above, as some cars have overall designs that are inherently flawed, and there are also individual cars that were improperly manufactured in accordance with safety regulations.
If you have been injured either by a defective product, the first thing you need to do after getting the medical attention you need is to contact an experienced defective product lawyer or attorney. As you've seen, products liability claims are extremely complicated, and your attorney will be able to help you through the legal process.
