Types of Defective Product Claims

When a product causes harm, victims may have the right to pursue a defective product liability claim to hold the responsible parties accountable. These claims generally fall into three main categories:

  1. Design Defects: These occur when a product is inherently dangerous due to its design, even if it was manufactured correctly. A flaw in the product’s design makes it unsafe for consumers.
  2. Manufacturing Defects: These happen when a product is designed safely but becomes dangerous due to an error during the manufacturing process. This could include faulty assembly, use of substandard materials, or contamination.
  3. Failure To Warn (Marketing Defects): This involves a company’s failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions about potential risks associated with using the product. Without proper labels or safety instructions, consumers may unknowingly face serious hazards.

If you believe you were injured due to any of these defects, Lowry & Associates can help you file a product liability claim and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Examples of Dangerous and Defective Products

Under Maine product liability law, sellers can be held liable for injuries caused by defective or unreasonably dangerous products if the product reaches the consumer without significant changes. This applies even if the seller took all possible precautions and the consumer did not buy the product directly from them.

Examples of dangerous and defective products include:

  • Faulty car, truck, or motorcycle parts (e.g., brakes, airbags, tires)
  • Malfunctioning household appliances (e.g., space heaters, kitchen devices)
  • Defective workplace machinery
  • Contaminated or mislabeled food products
  • Unsafe medications or medical devices
  • Hazardous children’s toys or products
  • Overheating batteries or malfunctioning electronics

Manufacturers and sellers are responsible for ensuring their products are safe for consumers.

Product Liability Statute of Limitations in Maine

In Maine, you generally have 6 years from the date of injury to file a product liability claim. However, certain circumstances may shorten this timeframe, and missing this deadline can prevent you from pursuing compensation. Don’t wait—contact a defective product attorney from Lowry & Associates today for a free case review to protect your legal rights.

Recoverable Damages in Product Liability Cases

If you’ve been injured by a defective product, you may be entitled to recover several types of damages, including:

  • Medical Expenses: Current and future medical bills related to your injury.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery and reduced future earning potential.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
  • Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace any personal property damaged by the defective product.
  • Punitive Damages: In rare cases, additional damages may be awarded to punish especially reckless conduct.

Determining If You Have a Claim

If you’ve been harmed by a defective product, you may be eligible to file a product liability claim. Determining whether you have a valid case involves understanding how the product caused your injuries and whether negligence played a role. Key factors that can establish a strong claim include:

  1. The product was defectively designed, manufactured, or lacked proper warnings.
  2. You were using the product in a reasonably intended manner.
  3. The defect directly caused your injuries.
  4. You suffered physical, emotional, or financial damages as a result.

Injuries Caused by Defective Products

Defective products can lead to a wide range of serious injuries, including:

  • Burns and lacerations caused by faulty electronics, appliances, or machinery.
  • Broken bones resulting from malfunctioning vehicles, equipment, or structural failures.
  • Head and brain injuries due to defective helmets, automotive parts, or unsafe tools.
  • Internal injuries caused by defective medical devices, contaminated food, or hazardous chemicals.
  • Severe allergic reactions from mislabeled or contaminated food, medications, or cosmetics.

If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies for a claim, we can evaluate your case and guide you through your legal options.
