W<\/span>hen someone is injured as a result of a product or medication being defective or having unintended consequences, they may be entitled to compensation from the manufacturer of the product or medication all the way down to the seller of the product or medication. This area of law is referred to as Products Liability.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are three ways in which a product can be legally defective:<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  1. Manufacturing Defect:<\/strong>
    During the manufacturing process, one or more of the products did not come out the way it was intended to.

    Example:<\/strong> Car manufacturer, Chevfordhey, manufactures 500,000 trucks. In 300 out of these 500,000 trucks produced, however, unbeknownst to Chevfordhey, the airbag crash sensor is not properly connected to the airbag unit. Mary, a Chevfordhey customer, goes to a Chevfordhey dealership and unknowingly buys one of the 300 trucks with the airbag defect. As Mary is driving home with her brand-new truck, she gets into a head-on collision going 35 miles per hour. As a result of the airbag unit not receiving a signal from the airbag crash sensor, Mary\u2019s airbag does not go off, allowing Mary\u2019s head to strike the steering wheel. Maryconsequently suffers a head injury.

    <\/li>
  2. Design Defect: <\/strong>
    Even before the product is manufactured, there is a flaw in the design of the product making it dangerous.

    Example:<\/strong> Car manufacturer, Chevfordhey\u2019s star engineer from Germany, Fredrick Von Shingle Shangle, comes up with a way to make Chevfordhey\u2019s cars fly. However, in his excitement, Frederick forgets to design the parts surrounding the jet fuel combustor with non-flammable materials. Peter, a Chevfordhey customer, goes to a Chevfordhey dealership and buys one of their new flying cars. As Peter is flying home in his brand-new flying car, a spark from the combustor lands on a turbine blade causing it to catch on fire. The fire spreads and causes Peter\u2019s flying car to crash. As a result, Peter is badly injured.

    <\/li>
  3. Warning Defect:<\/strong>
    The product does not come with adequate warnings or instructions.

    Example:<\/strong> Car manufacturer, Chevfordhey, designs and manufactures its flying car perfectly. However, although it is foreseeable that its customers might fly the car above 8,000 feet, it fails to include warnings inside the car or in the driver\u2019s manual that the car should not be flown above 8,000 feet because the occupants of the vehicle may experience altitude sickness, and even death. After buying a brand-new flying car from a Chevfordhey dealership, Paul takes his new car for a spin in the clouds. As he flies above 8,000 miles, he begins to feel light-headed and within a few seconds, he passes out. Luckily, for Paul, the car is equipped with auto-pilot which keeps it from crashing but the time he spends without sufficient oxygen causes him to sustain brain damage.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Unlike the case for many other types of accidents, in California, to receive compensation for an injury caused by a defective product (including medication), you don\u2019t have to necessarily prove that the manufacturer, distributor, or seller\/lessor of the product did something wrong. This is known as Strict Products Liability. Strict products liability arose from policy considerations, including that those involved in the distribution chain of a particular product are in a much better position than consumers to ensure their products are not unreasonably dangerous.<\/p>

    For strict products liability to apply, you must prove that your physical or emotional harm was caused by a product that:<\/p>

    1. Contained a manufacturing defect;<\/li>
    2. Was defectively designed; or<\/li>
    3. Failed to include adequate warnings or instructions.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      In order to prove that the product that caused you physical or emotional harm contained a manufacturing defect, you must prove all four of the following:<\/p>

      1. That the party you think is responsible either manufactured, distributed, or sold the product;<\/li>
      2. That the product contained a manufacturing defect when it left the possession of the party you think is responsible;<\/li>
      3. That you were harmed; and<\/li>
      4. The product\u2019s defect was a substantial factor in causing your harm.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

        In order to prove that the product that caused you physical or emotional harm contained a design defect, you must satisfy either one of two tests\u2014the Consumer Expectation Test or the Risk-Benefit Test.<\/p>
