Oregon City Product Liability Lawyer

Holding Manufacturers Liable for Dangerous & Defective Products

When you buy a product, you expect that it will work properly, and you will not be injured while using it. Oregon law states that every product must be designed and manufactured in a way that makes it safe for its intended use. If a product is not safe, the manufacturer can be held liable for any injuries or other damages it causes. The same is true if the manufacturer or another party fails to provide adequate warnings about the dangers of using the product.

What Are the Elements of a Product Liability Claim?

In order to succeed in a product liability claim, you must prove that:

• The product was defective
• The defect existed at the time the product left the manufacturer’s control
• The defect caused the injury or damage
• The product was being used in a reasonably foreseeable way

There are three types of defects that can give rise to a product liability claim: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects.

Design Defects

A design defect occurs when the product’s design is inherently dangerous or defective. In other words, the product’s design is dangerous, no matter how carefully it was manufactured. In these cases, you can hold the manufacturer liable for your injuries and other damages. You may also be able to hold the manufacturer liable for the injuries of others who were injured by the same product.

Manufacturing Defects

A manufacturing defect occurs when the product’s design is safe, but an error or mistake in the manufacturing process makes it dangerous. In these cases, you can hold the manufacturer liable for your injuries and other damages. You may also be able to hold the manufacturer liable for the injuries of others who were injured by the same product.

Marketing Defects

A marketing defect occurs when the manufacturer fails to include adequate warnings or instructions with the product. In these cases, you can hold the manufacturer liable for your injuries and other damages. You may also be able to hold the manufacturer liable for the injuries of others who were injured by the same product.
