What Is Product Liability?

Every day, consumers rely on products to function safely, whether it’s a car, a household item, medical devices, car seats, power tools, or a children’s toy. But when something goes wrong, and a product is defective or unreasonably dangerous, the consequences can be devastating. That’s where product liability laws come in.

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of product manufacturers, designers, distributors, and retailers to ensure their products are safe for consumers. When they fail to meet this responsibility, and someone is injured as a result, those parties can be held accountable through a product liability claim.

There are several ways a product can be defective:

• Defective Designs: Flaws in the consumer product’s design make it inherently dangerous, even when manufactured correctly.
• Manufacturing Errors: Errors during the manufacturing process or in quality control result in a specific batch or unit being unsafe for use.
• Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn): Inadequate instructions, improper labeling, or failure to warn consumers of potential risks caused user injuries. In some cases, product recalls that weren’t properly issued may also be a sign of a company’s negligence.

At GED Lawyers, our team investigates the root cause of your injury to build a strong case for holding the responsible parties accountable.

Proving Your Boston Product Liability Case

To successfully recover compensation in a product liability case, you must prove certain legal elements. At GED Lawyers, our team thoroughly investigates every detail to build the strongest possible claim on your behalf.

Here’s what we must prove:

• The Product Was Defective: Our lawyers must show that the product had a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or lacked proper warnings or instructions, making it unreasonably dangerous.
• You Were Using the Product as Intended: You don’t have to be using the product perfectly, but your use should have been acting within reasonable parameters of use.
• The Defect Directly Caused Your Injury: It’s essential to link the defect to your injury. For example, if a defective airbag failed during a car crash, the defect must be shown to have worsened your injuries.
• You Suffered Actual Damages: This includes medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from the defective product.

We gather evidence and collaborate with experts to prove these four elements.

Understanding the Statute of Limitations in Massachusetts

If a defective product in Boston has caused you injury, it’s critical to act quickly. Like all legal claims, product liability cases are subject to a statute of limitations, which sets strict deadlines for filing a lawsuit.

In Massachusetts, the general statute of limitations for product liability lawsuits is three years from the date of your injury. If you fail to file within this timeframe, you may lose your right to pursue compensation, no matter how strong your case is.

 GED Lawyers offers free consultations to help you understand your legal rights and ensure you don’t miss critical deadlines.

What to Do If A Defective Product Has Injured You

If a defective or dangerous product has caused you harm, taking the right steps early can protect your health and your legal rights. Here’s what to do:

• Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Get prompt medical care at Boston Medical Center or another emergency room, and follow all treatment recommendations.
• Preserve the Product: Keep the defective item, packaging, receipts, and any instructions or warning labels. Do not attempt to repair or alter the product.
• Document Everything: Take photos of your injuries, the product, and the scene of the incident. Keep records of medical bills, lost wages, and other related expenses.
• Avoid Speaking to Insurance Companies Alone: Insurers may try to downplay your claim or shift blame. It’s best to consult a lawyer before giving statements.
• Contact GED Lawyers: Our team can evaluate your case, preserve crucial evidence, and guide you through the legal process.
