When a product fails and causes injury, the people who designed, made, or sold it may be held responsible. Idaho product liability law allows injured consumers to seek compensation for defective and dangerous products.
Three Types of Defects
- Design defects — the product is unreasonably dangerous as designed.
- Manufacturing defects — an error occurred while making the product.
- Warning defects — the product lacked adequate instructions or warnings.
Who Can Be Liable
Liability can extend along the entire chain of distribution — the manufacturer, component makers, distributors, and retailers. You generally do not have to prove exactly who made the error, only that the product was defective and caused your injury.
Keep the product, its packaging, and any receipts or manuals. They are vital evidence in a product claim.
Taking on Large Companies
Product cases often pit you against well-funded corporations and require expert analysis. An attorney can level the field. A free consultation can evaluate your situation.
