There are three general product liability cases, and sometimes,
[00:00:09.240]
they'll cover one, two, or all three of the different elements.
[00:00:13.680]
You have your design defect cases,
[00:00:16.280]
you have your manufacturing defect cases, and you have your failure to warn cases.
[00:00:20.880]
A product could be defective
[00:00:22.880]
because it wasn't manufactured to the same standards
[00:00:26.320]
as other items in that product line.
[00:00:30.120]
That's a manufacturing defect.
[00:00:32.160]
A design defect is a product was manufactured as designed,
[00:00:37.240]
but the design itself is inherently dangerous.
[00:00:40.720]
That's a design defect case.
[00:00:42.640]
And a failure to warn case is
[00:00:44.560]
a manufacturer knows about a risk or hazard in its product
[00:00:49.800]
and failed to adequately warn the consumer about that risk.
[00:00:53.960]
It's essential to have a lawyer on your side in the product defect case.
[00:00:57.880]
A lawyer will have the expertise to navigate
[00:01:00.920]
all the elements that are necessary to prove your case.
[00:01:05.720]
And here at the Law Office of Michael Joseph, we have the expertise
[00:01:10.160]
of knowing what we need to prove, as well as having experts,
[00:01:14.600]
engineers, chemical engineers to come in and help us prove our case.
[00:01:19.640]
A client with a product liability case should expect,
[00:01:23.560]
right from the beginning, to have a complete understanding
[00:01:26.800]
of what is going to be necessary to prove their case.
[00:01:30.120]
They should also know how long it's going to take.
[00:01:34.240]
What are the steps? What are all of those steps you're going to be taken?
[00:01:38.840]
And the time frame.
[00:01:40.680]
That's one thing we always like to do is make sure our clients
[00:01:43.440]
almost become experts themselves in their case.
