In any product liability action, one of the main questions is why did the problem occur? In some cases, there was an error that occurred as part of the planning of the product, which makes it a design defect. This means every single piece produced will most likely have the same problem. In other situations, a flaw may have occurred while the product was being produced, and this is known as a manufacturing defect. This can be isolated to one specific piece handled incorrectly on the line, a small batch that was made or a whole shipment that was manufactured during a certain period.
In either situation, manufacturing and design defects often have an immediate impact and cause serious injury to someone using that product. At Miller Law, Inc., we represent plaintiffs throughout California who have been injured by dangerous or defective products. If a product has injured you or someone you care about, contact us today to schedule a free consultation at our Sacramento area office.
Design Defects
Our design defects attorney in Sacramento knows how to critically assess whether the company that designed the product tested it properly or should have become aware of the problem before the public started using it. From defective auto parts such as brakes and airbags to dangerous medications and medical devices, safety should be a priority and comprehensive testing should reveal major flaws that can be corrected or side effects or dangers that should come with a warning for people purchasing these items for use.
We will fight to prove how the design defect occurred, how it resulted in injury or a wrongful death, and the compensation needed for you or a loved one to fully recover and achieve justice.
Manufacturing Defects
A manufacturing defect can occur any number of ways, but the results can be equally devastating to an unsuspecting consumer. Manufacturing defects can easily result from:
- Failing to properly supervise factory lines
- Changing procedures without proper testing
- Mistakes in the manufacturing process
- Not adhering to quality standards
- Inadequate safety testing as each order is completed
- Failing to warn the public once the mistake is realized
Our lawyers know how to conduct thorough investigations to uncover problems with a factory procedures or operations. We will uncover all liable parties, including in some circumstances, the vendors or outlets who sold these products and those who may not have taken them off the shelf once they knew there was a problem. Our perspective and litigation experience helps us maximize the results we achieve on our clients' behalf for all types of product liability lawsuits.
