Negligence, Strict Liability, or Breach of Warranty?

Product Liability Overview

 

Most defective product claims fall into one of three broad categories: negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty.

 

Negligence

 

Any individual involved in the design, manufacture, or distribution of a product has a duty to provide a safe product. If one of these individuals fails to exercise reasonable care, and their action (or inaction) results in injury, he or she can be held liable. Negligence claims under product liability law include design errors, careless mistakes in the manufacturing of a product, and failure to warn consumers of the dangers associated with a product.
