Fighting For You After A Defective Product Caused You Harm
Consumers should be able to trust that the products they purchase are safe from any harm when used as designed. Unfortunately, consumers are often not able to safeguard themselves from the defects and hazards in a manufacturers’ product.
Consumers are affected by products and devices that are commonly used on a daily basis, and when negligent design and manufacturing injures or causes an individual’s death, you can file a claim against the manufacturer, supplier, distributor or seller of the product. At Flynn Law, in Mount Laurel, our attorneys can help you seek the justice and compensation you deserve.

How Is Liability Proven In Defective Product Injury Cases?
Establishing liability in defective product injury cases is essential for securing compensation for the injured party.
To prove liability, several key elements must be demonstrated:
Existence of a defect: The claimant must first establish that the product had a defect. This could be a design defect, where the product is inherently unsafe; a manufacturing defect, where the product does not conform to the designer’s specifications; or a marketing defect, where there are inadequate warnings or instructions that fail to inform the user of potential risks.
Causation: It is crucial to link the defect directly to the injury sustained. The claimant needs to show that the injury was a direct result of the defect in the product, and that the injury would not have occurred if the product had been safe.
Product usage: The product must have been used in a manner that was intended or reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. If the product was misused in a way that the manufacturer could not anticipate, it might affect the liability claim.
Condition of the product: The product must have been in the same condition as it was when it left the manufacturer. If the product had been altered or modified after it was purchased, this could impact the ability to prove liability.
Proving liability in product defect cases often requires a detailed examination of the circumstances surrounding the injury, expert testimonies and careful documentation. An experienced product liability attorney can provide invaluable assistance by navigating the complexities of these cases, helping to establish liability and advocating for the rightful compensation of those injured by defective products.
