Pennsylvania Strict Liability Law May Apply to Your Defective Products Case
Generally speaking, product liability lawsuits fall under the notion or theory of strict liability. Simply put, strict liability states that if a dangerous or unsafe consumer product injures you, you only have to prove the following:
- The product was defective
- The product caused your injury
At Munley Law, your product liability attorney will help determine if the defective product was a substantial factor in causing your harm. Generally speaking, in Pennsylvania, consumer products can cause your injury in one of three different ways:
- The product lacked a feature to make it safe for use or consumption
- The product contained a feature that made it unsafe
- The product lacked warning or instructions about the product’s potential risks
Because Pennsylvania is a strict liability state, you don’t have to prove that negligence caused your injuries. Instead, you need to show the existence of the defect and a relationship to the harm it caused you.
Who can be held liable for a dangerous product in Pennsylvania? When a defective product injures you, anyone in the distribution chain can be held liable, including manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, or lessors.
