Products Liability
A person who has been injured as a result of a dangerous or defective product may be protected by personal injury liability laws in a civil lawsuit. Products may be defective in design, because of a manufacturing defect, or may have inadequate warnings that put consumers at risk. Products liability cases are often complex and require a thorough investigation and technical analysis. If you or a loved one has been injured by a dangerous or defective product, the Nicholson Law Firm can help you to recover your losses through a successful settlement in a personal injury lawsuit.
Dangerous and defective products can cause severe injuries or death. Products may be defective in one of three ways:
- Design defect: A product has a design defect when its very design has a fundamental flaw; this means the product is defective before it is manufactured. If a product has a design defect, every item manufactured according to this design will be similarly defective.
- Manufacturing defect: When something happened during the manufacturing process that caused this one product to be dangerously defective, the product has a manufacturing defect. With manufacturing defects, other products with the same design are not defective. There are many potential causes of a manufacturing defect, such as faulty equipment on the manufacturing line, the manufacturer’s failure to check the quality of the finished product, or the use of substandard materials.
- Defective warnings: Products must come with clear and complete warnings of reasonably foreseeable hazards. Even if a product is safe in its design and manufacture, if the warnings and instructions are defective, the manufacturer can be held liable for any resulting damages.
Workers Compensation
Most job related injuries are covered under Georgia’s workers compensation laws which were established to provide medical and disability benefits to injured workers while protecting employers from civil law suits. The Nicholson Law Firm has extensive experience with filing claims and handling workers compensation disputes before all branches of the State Board of Worker’s Compensation.
