Product liability is the area of law which applies when the use of an unsafe or defective product results in consumer injury. Product liability laws can hold manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers accountable if a defective product is unsafe or if they fail to provide adequate warning of the dangers associated with the product’s proper use. At the Law Offices of John Gehlhausen, P.C., an experienced product liability attorney can help if you have been injured as the result of crashworthiness issues or vehicular rollover. Colorado product liability and defective product lawyer John Gehlhausen serves accident victims nationwide and can help you obtain the compensation to which you are entitled.
Accident attorney John Gehlhausen has over 30 years of experience representing clients’ product liability claims. State common law mandates that the manufacturers and distributors of farm machinery, construction equipment, and riding lawn mowers have an obligation to produce safe products and warn users of the potential operating dangers. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), almost 30 million people are seriously injured annually as the result of defective products. Product liability claims are generally categorized by their defect into one of three categories: design, manufacturing, or marketing defects.
A defective product is considered to have a design defect when a flaw in the intentional design makes the product unreasonably dangerous for foreseeable uses. A defective product has a manufacturing defect when the product does not conform to the designer’s specifications. (Manufacturing defects are generally considered to be among the easiest product liability claims to prove because the product’s own design can be used to show that the product is defective). Marketing defects represent flaws in the way a product is marketed, such as improper labeling, insufficient or incorrect instructions, or inadequate safety warnings such as to use the product with a safety device. An example is that any tractor with a front-end loader should also have a falling object protection canopy. A negligent or intentional misrepresentation in the marketing of a product may also give rise to a product liability claim. Contact Colorado product liability lawyer John Gehlhausen if you have been injured by a defective product and would like to schedule a case evaluation.
