What is A Defective Product?

A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous and has a tendency to cause physical harm beyond that which can be expected by an ordinary user of the product. In other words, although motorcycle accidents can occur as a result of negligent drivers or ill-maintained roads, it is expected that the parts and accessories designed for use on a motorcycle should not themselves be the cause of an accident. If motorcycle parts or accessories are unsafe, the product is defective and the central Florida law office of Richard Troutman will pursue your product liability case and work to show the liability of the manufacturer and/or others.

Those Responsible for Defective Products are Liable under Product Liability Law

Winter Park product liability attorney Richard Troutman will examine the evidence to determine which party or parties should be held responsible for the distribution or sale of a defective product. It may be that liability for a defective product is not limited to the manufacturer. Product liability law allows for others in the “chain of manufacture” to be held accountable if they play a role in making a product dangerous. These parties can include manufacturers of component parts, assembling manufacture, wholesalers, and retail stores.

Strict Liability in Product Liability Cases

Generally, product liability claims are based on a legal theory known as “strict liability.” Strict liability does not require that the plaintiff prove negligence on the part of the manufacturer or others. While a negligence claim focuses on the specific behavior of the party responsible for an injury, a strict liability case focuses on the product itself. If the product is defective, liability falls on the parties involved whether or not they were negligent in the manufacture, delivery, or sale of a product.
