What types of product defects are usually found?
A. Generally there are three types of product defects found when evaluating a claim. These include 1) design defects—a flaw in the design of the product i.e. a handle that continually loosens on a pan; 2) manufacturing defects—negligence in manufacturing such as a worker who failed to properly assemble a product; and 3) marketing defects—a flaw in the wording on the label or in the instructions. Experienced legal counsel maintains access to the expertise of scientists, engineers, and other professionals. Using these resources a product liability attorney will determine your best course of action and will calculate what damages you are entitled to.
