Personal injury lawyers who help people who have been injured as a result of the dangerous product understand that there are different types of product liability claims. For the most part, people consider a product liability claim to be one where somebody was injured as a result of a defective or dangerous product. This is correct. However, sometimes the product could have been made safely. Sometimes, a product that should have been made safely was not safe for use because it had a poor design. It was the failure in the design portion of the product that kept it from being safe.
On the other hand, there are also manufacturing defect claims in Arizona. These are products that were designed safely but, because they were not put together correctly during the manufacturing process or at the factory, have become dangerous. Both design defects and manufacturing defects are not only the most common types of personal injury lawsuits, they are the types of personal injury lawsuits that most people think about when they think of the person fighting for justice after they have been seriously hurt as a result of a product.
However, there is another common, albeit somewhat less common, personal injury lawsuit related to a dangerous product. That is the type of product that is inherently dangerous if it is used in a certain manner. For instance, there are some products which, if not used correctly, can cause injury. Also, there are times where it is not readily apparent to the average user that the product would be dangerous if used in a certain manner. Where someone who creates a product and puts it on the market and knows it will be used in a certain way, and also knows that the way it’s going to be used will cause an injury, the product manufacturer is liable for any injuries caused that could have been prevented by adequate warnings. These can be very difficult cases for a variety of reasons. However, it is indisputable that there are times for a product that is being used for a certain purpose, the manufacturer knows that purpose, but the manufacturer wants people to continue to use the product in that manner because it will sell more and therefore make the manufacturer more money. If this is all true and there is not a mandatory way in which the warning are conveyed to the end user, and an injury is suffered, this is a valid product liability claim in Arizona.

Bringing a lawsuit as a result of a serious injury that occurred due to a defective product can be very time consuming, expensive, and difficult. For this reason, most people who pursue product liability claims against a product manufacturer do so only with the best Arizona personal injury lawyer they can find. This is a good decision because these cases are inherently complex.
For instance, one of the things that must be accomplished is to determine what is wrong with the particular product. For instance, is the product dangerous because it was designed in a dangerous fashion that was likely to create injury, or was it a safe design that was put together wrong at the factory (manufacturing defect) that needs to be stopped. These are very different cases. They sometimes require different experts.
Also, with a design defect there is a high likelihood that that product that caused an injury to one person may lead to injury to others. The manufacturing defect, it is not necessarily true that others will be hurt. In some cases, there was a defect in the manufacturing process that may have never happened before or since. In other situations, there was a good design of the product but the entire manufacturing process has been created in such a way to create great risk of harm to others.

Many people question the work that is performed by Arizona’s best personal injury attorneys. People assume that personal injury lawyers do not do anything that is good for anybody but themselves. These people are sadly mistaken. One of the obvious points where these critics get it wrong is where they suggest that justice is never done through a lawsuit. These people believe that lawsuits accomplish nothing. The reality is, when there is a defective design involved, and that defective design sends a product into the market that can injure or kill innocent adults and children, those very same lawsuits brought by those very personal injury lawyers can save lives.
One of the key causes of action in a Arizona product liability lawsuit is for defective design. If a corporation has designed a product defectively, such that it will cause injury when it could be avoided, this can be the basis of a lawsuit in Arizona by the person who has suffered injury. If no lawsuit is brought, and the corporation can continue to pull a huge profit without any deterrents from sending the dangerous product out into the market, many corporations will continue to do so. In other words, they’ll put profits ahead of the fact that they know the continued selling of this product with a dangerous design will cause injuries. However, when people bring product liability lawsuits, they not only have an opportunity to achieve justice in their own case, but also greatly increase the possibility that the corporation will find it too expensive to keep the dangerous design on the market and will instead “pull it from the shelves” and thereby eliminate the likelihood of injury to others.
If you have any questions whatsoever about Arizona product liability law and would like to speak with a lawyer who is a certified specialist in injury or wrongful death litigation, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
As a certified specialist in injury and wrongful death law by the State of Arizona, I have had the occasion to see the effects of any number of dangerous activities. Because of what I get to do, I get to be there to help people try to seek justice after the negligence or intentional act of another has caused harm. Sometimes, the only justice that is obtained is for the person who suffered injury. This, in and of itself, is very rewarding. However, when it comes to dangerous products and litigation for product liability claims, there is another great advantage to those cases. Not only is the person who is injured given an opportunity for justice, but the filing of the lawsuit itself helps deter the product manufacturer from putting that same dangerous product out on the market.
Corporations that make products are in the business of making money. That’s what they are supposed to do. There is nothing wrong or evil about a corporation trying to make money and being able to do so however, there is a problem when a corporation will continue to sell a product it knows to be dangerous and that it knows will cause harm because it is profitable to do so. Product liability lawsuits in Arizona become a strong deterrent against those corporations when they are considering keeping a product on the market.
