Understanding Your Product Liability Case
Product liability cases in Pennsylvania fall into three main defect categories that create manufacturer liability:
- Manufacturing defects occur when products deviate from their intended design during production, making individual units dangerous.
- Design defects exist when the entire product line has an inherent flaw that makes it unreasonably dangerous.
- Warning defects happen when manufacturers fail to provide adequate safety instructions or alert users to potential hazards.
How to File a Product Liability Claim
Our product liability attorneys prove these defects by establishing strict liability under Pennsylvania law. This means you do not need to prove the manufacturer was negligent — only that the product was defective and caused your injury. However, manufacturers aggressively defend these cases by claiming user error or modification of the product. We counter these defenses with thorough investigation and expert analysis.
Pennsylvania has specific time limits for filing product liability claims. You generally have two years from your injury date to take legal action. Some cases involve exceptions when injuries or defects weren’t immediately apparent. We evaluate each case’s timeline to ensure claims are filed within legal deadlines.
What Is Strict Liability in Norristown Defective Product Cases?
Pennsylvania law applies strict liability to manufacturers, distributors, and sellers for injuries caused by defective products. Under strict liability principles, you don’t need to prove negligence or knowledge of the defect. You simply need to establish that:
- The product was defective when it left the seller’s control
- The defect caused your injury
Our Norristown attorneys can prove strict liability by demonstrating one of these conditions:
- The product deviated from its intended design during manufacturing
- The product had an unreasonably dangerous design flaw
- The product lacked adequate warnings about risks
When companies defend these cases, they typically argue that their product meets industry standards or that users modified it after purchase. We counter these defenses with comprehensive evidence, including expert analysis of the product’s design, manufacturing process, and safety features.
Recent Pennsylvania court decisions have simplified strict liability standards for injured consumers. Courts now focus on whether the product that caused your injury was unreasonably dangerous, rather than requiring comparisons between different possible designs. This change helps injury victims secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages without becoming entangled in complex design arguments.
Pennsylvania law holds all parties in the supply chain liable—even sellers and distributors who weren’t aware of the defect. While these parties can seek reimbursement from manufacturers if they had no role in creating the defect, this approach ensures that every company takes responsibility for product safety.
