Product Liability

If you are injured by a defective product, you may have a claim based upon product liability.

In Connecticut, a “product seller” or “manufacturer” is strictly liable for injuries caused by a product. This means that the product seller is responsible for injuries caused by the product without consideration of traditional negligence.

These cases are usually complicated. It is the responsibility of the injured person to prove that the product that caused his or her injury was “unreasonably dangerous.” This will usually require consulting with expert witnesses to examine the product and determine how the product was improperly designed or otherwise failed in a way that caused the injury.

Product liability claims also include claims based upon insufficient warnings.
