“Products liability” is a particular type of personal injury claim that holds any or all parties liable along the manufacturing chain of any defective product for damages caused by that product. In other words, product liability is a particular type of personal injury claim that may arise when a victim has been killed or injured by a defective product placed into the stream of commerce. Product liability claims can stem from negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty issues.
Defective products can be inherently dangerous, causing all types of injuries and even death, but consumers rarely know a product is possibly defective when they are using it. Therefore, it’s essential to understand any product in your home or car can pose a danger.
For example, on your daughter’s birthday, your young child receives a powered scooter. She rides the scooter all day until, suddenly, the motor explodes and causes injuries to her leg. If you can show the injuries were caused by the defective scooter, you may have a product liability claim. If you have suffered injuries due to some other person’s negligence or wrongful act, contact an experienced Miami products liability attorney at Callejo Law for help.

Product liability victims can potentially hold various entities within the manufacturing chain, including the manufacturer of parts, the assembling manufacturer, the wholesalers, the retail store owners, and other entities responsible for damages caused by a defective product.
