In California, the strict liability rule plays a pivotal role in product liability cases. This rule states that manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held liable if their product is found to be defective, regardless of whether they were negligent or not.
Important evidence to have includes: Defective product itself (preserve the product as best you can) All receipts, sales contracts, and other documents concerning the product. Documentation of injuries (i.e. photos, medical records, accident reports) Medical bills and payroll records to prove your financial losses.
Some famous examples of product liability claims include the General Motors class-action lawsuit, the RoundUp weed killer lawsuit, and the Big Tobacco lawsuit. Common dangerous products that can result in product liability claims include fireworks, highchairs, pharmaceutical drugs, and defective medical products.
All parties may be strictly liable if the Consumer Protection Act 1987 applies to the supply of the product. For example, if a product is faulty, then the liability for any harm caused by the product lies ultimately with the manufacturer but could be commenced against any distributor, supplier or retailer.
To successfully sue for a defective product, you need to prove that: The defendant designed, manufactured, distributed or sold a defective product to the consumer. The consumer used reasonable care when using the product. The consumer was injured due to the defect in the product.
