Any party that plays a role in the development or distribution of a product may be held liable for a defective product injury. Because strict liability applies to these cases, the claimant doesn’t need to prove negligence or intent in order to recover an award of damages; however, they must be able to prove when the defect most likely occurred. Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible to hold one or more of the following parties liable for a defective product injury: the designer, the manufacturer, the distributor, the retailer, design consultants, or quality control professionals. This list is non-exhaustive.
About Michael Waks
Michael Waks is an aggressive advocate for people who have suffered because of someone else’s actions. Michael decided to become a personal injury lawyer when, while clerking at a legal defense firm during law school, he witnessed and was infuriated by asbestos manufacturers spending millions to avoid taking responsibility for the egregious injuries they caused. Immediately after passing the bar, Michael opened his own firm in Long Beach, CA to help the victims of personal injury accidents get every benefit owed them under the law.
