Defective Product Attorneys

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

In cases involving defective products there is what is known as strict liability. The defendant manufacturer, distributor and/or seller is strictly liable for any harm that resulted from the use of an unreasonably dangerous product. This means that negligence does not have to be proven.

Strict liability refers to the fact that responsibility for injuries resulting from a defective product lies with the product manufacturer distributor, and/or seller regardless of knowledge of the defect or attempts to meet safety standards. Strict liability differs from negligence in that it is not necessary to show that the defendant failed to meet a duty. The defendant is "strictly liable" for harm that resulted after use of the defective product. If strict liability can be used in your case, there is a lesser burden of proof on your side. Your attorney just needs to show the court that the product failed and caused harm. For the strict liability principle to be utilized, however, the injured consumer must still show that the product carried unreasonable dangers, is in fact legally "defective", and that it caused physical harm.

If you or a loved one suffered injury after use of a defective product, and you believe the manufacturer or seller is strictly liable, consult an experienced defective product attorney in Philadelphia. Your family may be entitled to collect substantial money damages.
