Never settle for anyone not well-versed in the laws and regulations surrounding dangerous products laws.

Types of Product Liability Claims

Manufacturing Defects

Design Defects

Marketing Defects

Simply put, manufacturing defects relate to issues revolving around how a product was made. Manufacturing defects may arise while being produced or assembled in a way that differs from the correct way it was designed.

Design defects, on the other hand, are a result of poorly designed products. If the product was manufactured exactly as intended, but still results in a harmful or dangerous product, this is the result of a design defect. While products are required to go through specific design testing to avoid defects, they still happen.

Also known as a failure to warn, marketing defects are the result of manufacturers failing to give proper notice of the inherent risks a product may carry. This is most often the case in many pharmaceutical injury claims, where manufacturers fail to list all side effects a product may cause.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who Is Liable In A Louisiana Product Liability Case?

Assigning liability in the case of a dangerous product is complex. Depending on the type of defect that resulted in the dangerous product, anyone from product designers, manufacturers, testers and more could be held liable. When assigning liability in Louisiana product liability cases, our product liability lawyers assess all of the factors that go into a case to paint the full picture as to how an injury occurred.

What Is Pure Comparative Negligence?

Generally speaking, comparative negligence is an argument made in court to limit the damages a plaintiff can receive following an injury claim. In the case of Louisiana product liability, pure comparative negligence takes into account the “fault” that may fall back on the victim who used a dangerous product. If you are considered even partially to blame for the injuries you received, you can receive significantly less compensation. At MMRBH, our product liability lawyers will fight to ensure you aren’t wrongfully blamed, so that you receive all the compensation you rightly deserve.
