Defective products are put onto shelves each day and affect the lives of shoppers. Despite the fact that there are government regulations in place to prevent the dangerous sale of defective products, there are some instances when these products find their way into a store where hundreds of thousands of individuals shop. When a consumer unexpectedly buys a defective product and is harmed by the product in some way, they are qualified to file a product liability lawsuit against the responsible party(s). This includes the store where they purchased the defective product from or the manufacturer that created it. These laws allow victims to fight for compensation in court based on the negligence of the manufacturer or the company at fault. In the event that you or someone you know was harmed because of a defective product, contact KBA Attorneys.

We Are Accepting Defective Devices Cases
While defective product lawsuits may appear to be a straightforward subject, there are critical subtleties to think about while assessing what sort of defect a product has. It is essential to have an experienced product liability lawyer on your side. A product is considered defective if it causes injuries or damage to a user while it is being used correctly and for its intended purpose. These defective product claims are taken under state laws, and relying upon the state’s laws, the defective product may assert strict negligence, negligence, or a breach of warranty. In the event that there is negligence or a failure to warn, a lawsuit can be filed and compensation for damages can be awarded. The three main types of product defects are:
Design Defects
Design defects occur when there are issues in the design stage. This means that a product could be designed incorrectly and malfunction when it is used.
Manufacturing Defects
Manufacturing defects occur when there are issues in the manufacturing stage. A product may have been designed safely, but a mistake during the manufacturing process could cause the product to become defective and dangerous. Manufacturers responsible for an unreasonably dangerous product can be held liable in a product liability lawsuit.
Marketing Defects
Marketing defects are usually less obvious than design or manufacturing defects, and that’s because they normally deal with failures to provide a proper warning label for how not to use the product. This can also involve making false claims about a product, which can lead to injury.
Defective Device Settlements
Every case is unique and the compensation awarded to victims is dependent on the specific circumstances of the claims. The damage and injuries caused by dangerous devices are normally compensatory, punitive, or special. Victims of this lawsuit may be eligible to receive compensation from damages such as:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Lost Wages
- Emotional pain
