General Elements of a Household Products Liability Claim

Most products liability claims arise under the strict liability, breach of express warranty or breach of implied warranty theories. A Miami dangerous household appliance attorney at Brais Law Firm will consider which legal theory is appropriate for your products liability claim:

Strict liability

Involves products with an unreasonably dangerous defect. You must prove that the defect in the product caused your injuries, but you do not have to demonstrate that the corporation was to blame for the defect. The fact that the defect existed is enough for the designer, manufacturer or distributer to be liable.

Express warranty

Refers to an express verbal or written promise as to the products safety and effectiveness if used for its intended purpose. An express warranty is a contract between the manufacturer or seller and you, the consumer, and a breach of that contract is actionable.

Implied warranty

Is based in the legal concept that goods must be merchantable and fit for the purpose in which they are sold. A product that is unsafe when used as intended breaches the implied warranty, even if no express language promised safety and effectiveness.
