There are three primary types of defects in a product liability claim: 1) Design Defects, where the product is inherently unsafe even when made correctly; 2) Manufacturing Defects, where a mistake during production makes a specific product unsafe; and 3) Marketing Defects, which involve inadequate instructions or a failure to warn consumers of non-obvious dangers.
To win a product liability case in Virginia, you generally must prove that: 1) the product had an unreasonably dangerous defect; 2) the defect existed when the product left the manufacturer’s control; and 3) the defect was the direct cause of your injuries.
Liability can extend to any party in the ‘chain of distribution.’ This includes the product manufacturer, the manufacturer of a component part, the wholesaler or distributor, and the retail store that sold the product to the consumer. Any or all of these parties can be named as defendants in a lawsuit.
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Virginia is generally two years from the date the injury occurred. However, product liability cases can be complex, and it is crucial to speak to an attorney as soon as possible to investigate the claim and preserve your right to sue.
First, seek immediate medical attention for your injuries. Second, preserve the product in the exact condition it was in when the injury occurred. Do not try to fix it, alter it, or throw it away, as it is the most critical piece of evidence in your case. Then, contact a product liability lawyer.
A manufacturing defect affects only a specific item or batch of items that deviated from the intended design (e.g., one car with faulty brakes). A design defect means the entire product line is unreasonably dangerous, even if every unit is made perfectly according to the flawed blueprint (e.g., an SUV model that is prone to rolling over).
It depends. If you were using the product in a way that the manufacturer should have reasonably foreseen (a ‘foreseeable misuse’), you may still have a valid claim. For example, a chair manufacturer should foresee that someone might stand on their product. However, if the misuse was truly unforeseeable, it may bar your recovery.
