Do You Have a Legitimate Product Liability Case?

Product liability claims can arise in a variety of ways, but the core requirement is that the product was defective or unreasonably dangerous when used as intended. You may have a legitimate case if:

• You used the product as intended or in a foreseeable way
• The product was unreasonably dangerous due to a defect
• That defect caused your injuries or harm
• You suffered measurable damages (physical, financial, or emotional)

Negligence in a Product Liability Claim

All manufacturers are expected to exercise reasonable care with their products. They may be held liable for an injury or death if they contribute to the accident in any number of ways, including the following:

• Bad design
• Inadequate testing or inspections
• Inadequate instructions, warnings, or labels
• Untimely issuance of a recall

Available Damages in Product Liability Claims

There are many different impacts that a defective product can have on your life, and so there are many different ways to receive compensation for your injuries when going to court for product liability. Here are some of the most common types damages you can recover in a claim:

• Medical Expenses: Injuries require medical care, and that care doesn’t come for free. In the case that you are physically harmed from a defective product, you shouldn’t have to pay your own medical fees.
• Disfigurement: Not all injuries heal or fully fade. In this case, you may claim disfigurement. This is classified as permanent or long-term cosmetic damage due to an injury.
• Disabilities: Injuries from defective products can lead to disability including paralysis, brain damage, blindness, and deafness, among others.
• Mental Anguish: Mental anguish refers to the psychological damage that has been caused. It can have an extreme impact on you, even if it is not as evident as physical injury. Your relationships, family life, work performance, and even your ability to enjoy life can be severely damaged.
• Loss of Income: This includes any extra expenses paid, as well as any income lost while you recover. This includes any lost wages due to the potential impact on your future career, plus any reduction in work performance.
• Pain and Suffering: A court allows for you to claim for pain and suffering you have been through due to and injuries sustained while using the faulty product.

Types of Product Defects

When a product causes injury, the issue often lies in how it was designed, built, or marketed. Under Georgia law, product liability claims generally fall into one of three main categories:

1. Design Defects: The product’s design is inherently unsafe, even before it is manufactured (e.g., a power tool with exposed blades).
2. Manufacturing Defects: An error occurred during production, making the product dangerous (e.g., a cracked bicycle frame or contaminated food).
3. Marketing/Warning Defects: The manufacturer failed to provide adequate instructions or warnings about potential risks (e.g., missing warning labels on medication).

What's the Legal Process for a Product Liability Case?

Product liability cases can be complex and fact-intensive. That’s why we take a step-by-step approach to building a strong claim.

Initial Consultation

We listen to your story and review any documentation you have. If we believe you have a viable claim, we begin a detailed investigation immediately.

Investigation and Evidence Gathering

Our team inspects the product, gathers records (such as purchase receipts and manuals), reviews medical records, and consults industry experts. We often work with engineers, safety analysts, or forensic specialists to determine what went wrong.

Identifying Liable Parties

Unlike many personal injury claims, product liability cases may involve multiple parties, including manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers.

Filing a Claim

We prepare a demand package or formal complaint outlining your injuries, damages, and the legal basis for your claim.

Negotiation and Settlement Discussions

We negotiate with the opposing parties from a position of strength, backed by solid evidence and expert opinions. Many cases settle during this phase.

Filing a Lawsuit and Going to Trial

If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we file a lawsuit and proceed through discovery, depositions, motion practice, and ultimately trial.

Resolution or Appeal

Whether your case resolves through settlement or verdict, we stand by your side until the process is complete. If needed, we are prepared to handle appeals as well.

What Is the Statute of Limitations in Georgia?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is two years from the date of injury. That means you must file your lawsuit within two years, or your right to recover compensation may be lost.

There are a few important exceptions:

• Discovery Rule: If the injury wasn’t immediately known (such as with a medical device failure), the clock may start when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered.
• Minor Plaintiffs: If the injured person is under 18, the statute of limitations may be extended.
• Wrongful Death: If a defective product caused a fatality, the statute is two years from the date of death.

Who Can Be Liable?

One of the unique aspects of product liability law is that multiple parties in the supply chain can be held responsible for a defective product. Liable parties may include:

• Manufacturer: The company that designed and built the product
• Parts Manufacturer: If a defective component caused the injury
• Wholesaler or Distributor: Middlemen that helped bring the product to market
• Retailer or Seller: Stores or websites that sold the product to the public

Product Liability FAQs

What is product liability?

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, or retailers when a defective or dangerous product causes injury or harm to a consumer. These cases may involve design flaws, manufacturing errors, or a failure to warn users about risks.

Who can be held responsible for a defective product?

Multiple parties may be liable, including:

• The product’s manufacturer
• A parts or component manufacturer
• Distributors or wholesalers
• Retailers who sold the product

What should I do if I’ve been injured by a product?

• Preserve the product and any packaging or receipts
• Seek medical attention right away
• Take photos of your injuries and the product if possible
• Do not throw anything away
• Contact a product liability attorney as soon as possible

How long do I have to file a product liability lawsuit in Georgia?

Generally, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. However, exceptions may apply, including cases involving minors or delayed discovery of the injury, so it’s best to consult with an Atlanta personal injury lawyer immediately.

Do I need to prove negligence to win a product liability case?

Not always. Georgia allows claims under strict liability, which means you don’t have to prove negligence. You only have to demonstrate that the product was defective and caused your injury. But proving negligence may strengthen your claim.

You may be entitled to recover:

• Medical expenses (past and future)

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• In certain cases, punitive damages
