What Is Strict Product Liability?

Full Video Transcript

If you were injured by a defective product, you may be able to successfully sue the seller or manufacturer of the product without having to prove fault. This is known as strict product liability and applies in cases where a product has a design or manufacturing defect that led to injuries. It’s important to note: Strict product liability only applies in special cases, where the original manufacturer or seller sold you the product, not a reseller or nonmerchant. Additionally, if you used a product in a non-foreseeable or negligent manner, strict product liability may not apply. If you were injured while using a product, it’s important to speak with an attorney immediately. Any delay may result in the loss of evidence and forfeiture of your case.
