What Is Product Liability?

Product liability is an area of law that holds those involved in the creation, manufacture, marketing, and distribution of defective or inherently dangerous products responsible for injuries those products cause.

Generally speaking, there are three types of product defects:

  • Design defects: These occur when a product is designed in such a way that it is inherently dangerous for ordinary use. Design defects affect all products with the same design.
  • Manufacturing defects: A product has this type of defect when an error occurs during the manufacturing stage, rendering the product defective and unsafe to use.
  • Labeling defects: Also known as “failure to warn” or “marketing defects,” these occur when a product lacks safety warnings, possible side effects, instructions, or similar information.

Because businesses have products liability insurance to protect them from lawsuits, it's important that you speak with an attorney about a potential claim.

Proving a Product Liability Claim

As soon as you suffer an injury from a product, you should seek advice from an experienced North Carolina product liability lawyer.

We at Lanier Law Group can review your case and help you prove liability. Remember, parties involved in the creation, manufacturing, and distribution of products have strict liability, meaning you do not need to prove any certain party was negligent.

In product liability claims in North Carolina, you must prove the following elements:

  • You suffered an actual injury.
  • The product was dangerous, defective, or poorly designed or did not have adequate warning labels.
  • The defective product was the cause of your harm.
  • You used the product with reasonable care and in the manner intended.

The statute of limitations for defective product liability claims in North Carolina is two years. This means that if you are injured by a defective product anywhere in the state, you must file suit within two years of being injured or you may be forever barred from recovering damages. An experienced defective product attorney from Lanier Law Group can help you through the process.

Common Types of Defective Product Cases

Companies that make and sell products have a duty to make sure their products are free from unreasonable hazards. Yet, each year, many defective items are released to market.

Some examples of common defective product liability cases include:

  • Automotive defects: If a single component of a car, truck or motorcycle malfunctions, it can cause injury or death to the driver, passengers, and other motorists. Common automotive defects include faulty tires, airbags that fail to deploy or that deploy without impact, seatbelts that do not lock, and braking mechanisms that fail to engage.
  • Pharmaceutical defects: New drugs must undergo rigorous testing before being released. Yet, some companies fail to discover dangerous side effects until it is too late.
  • Toy defects: A toy can injure a child if it has small parts, is coated in toxic lead paint, or has sharp edges.

Because most manufacturing companies carry product liability insurance to protect them against lawsuits, it's important that you speak with an attorney about your potential claim. The North Carolina product liability lawyers of Lanier Law Group can provide you with aggressive and dedicated legal representation from start to finish.

    "20 out of 10 stars."
    There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it's interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don't have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

    "Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"
    I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

    "So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"
    Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
