What is a Product Liability Case in Lebanon, PA?

Manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers generally have a responsibility to offer safe products to consumers. Thus, they are often to blame when the products they provide cause harm. Unlike many areas of personal injury law, in which proving negligence is often essential, strict liability tends to apply to product liability cases. This means you may hold a company liable or accountable even if no negligence occurred. The focus in these cases is whether the product had a defect and whether that defect caused your injury.

There are three primary types of product defects that can lead to a liability claim:

• Design Defects: These are flaws in the product’s design. This type of product may be inherently unsafe even when it’s manufactured properly. For example, a vehicle’s design may cause it to have an unreasonable rollover risk.
• Manufacturing Defects: These occur during the production process. A product may have been designed safely but built in a way that made it dangerous. For example, medication could have been contaminated during the manufacturing process. Similarly, during the manufacturing of a vehicle, someone may have overlooked a critical part.
• Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn): A product may also be considered defective if it lacks necessary warnings or instructions. A company could be held liable if it fails to alert users about non-obvious risks.

Our Lebanon, PA product liability attorneys regularly represent individuals injured by:

• Defective Vehicles and Auto Parts (e.g., faulty airbags, brakes, or seatbelts)
• Medical Devices and Implants (e.g., surgical mesh, pacemakers, hip replacements)
• Pharmaceutical Products (e.g., dangerous drugs with undisclosed side effects)
• Consumer Products (e.g., electronics that catch fire, unsafe kitchen appliances)
• Heavy Machinery and Tools (e.g., lack of proper safety features)
• Children’s Items (e.g., choking hazards, unsafe furniture, toxic materials)

This is not a complete list of defective products that can result in personal injury. Even if the type of product that caused your injuries isn’t listed above, you may still have grounds to file a product liability claim or lawsuit.

Each type of claim requires a detailed understanding of how the product works, what went wrong, and how it caused your injury. Our team of Lebanon product liability attorneys has the knowledge and resources to pursue even the most challenging cases. We’ll review your case and help you better understand whether you may be eligible for compensation due to injuries resulting from a product defect.

Why Taking Action Quickly Matters in a PA Product Liability Case

It doesn’t matter whether it’s an item you ordered from an online retailer, something you picked up at the Lebanon Valley Mall, or a product you found at one of the numerous shops on or around Lebanon’s North 5th Street—if you’ve been hurt by a product you must take action fast.

Pennsylvania law sets a two-year statute of limitations for filing product liability lawsuits in most cases. Waiting too long could result in losing your right to pursue compensation altogether. Even if you technically still have the right to file a product liability claim, the insurance company might not offer a fair settlement. The insurance company’s adjusters will know you don’t have the leverage you would have if you still had the right to file a lawsuit.

That’s not to say you need to work directly with the insurance company when filing a product liability claim or lawsuit. Speaking with personal injury lawyers who have experience handing these types of personal injury cases can help you protect your rights. The sooner you speak to a qualified Lebanon product liability lawyer, the stronger your case can be. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence, protect your rights, and connect the injury to the product before time or circumstances make it harder to prove.

At Munley Law, our legal team works promptly to investigate every aspect of your situation. This may involve:

• Securing the product before it’s discarded or altered
• Identifying every party in the manufacturing and supply chain
• Examining instructions, warnings, and marketing materials
• Reviewing your medical records and diagnosis
• Bringing in engineers, safety experts, or healthcare specialists to review the case

Keep in mind that taking legal action when defective products cause injury doesn’t just allow victims to seek compensation. It also lets negligent parties know there is a price to be paid for their carelessness. They may thus be less likely to engage in negligence in the future. In other words, if you pursue a product liability case, you may be protect others from injury.
