Hello, my name is Joel Williams, I'm a products liability attorney in Kennesaw, Georgia, and today I want to talk to you a little bit about products liability claims in Georgia law. In Georgia, products liability claims are generally classified as either manufacturing defect claims, design defect claims, failure to warn claims, sometimes breach of implied or express warranty claims. If you've been injured by a defective product, the type of claim you need to bring really depends on where the negligence was. For example, if a product is negligently designed so that it's inherently dangerous and defective for its intended purpose, you probably have a design defect claim. And if a product is negligently manufactured, whereas maybe one or two or a few of that particular product is dangerous as compared to the whole lot, then you may have a manufacturing defect claim. Some products are dangerous and some products have inherent risk involved with them to begin with, for example a jet ski or an ATV or a sharp tool, there comes risk with using that product but if those risks aren't obvious the manufacturer of the product has a duty to warn. If they don't warn and let you know about those inherent risks and dangers then you may have a failure to warn claim. One of the most deadly defective products can be a motor vehicle, and if you're in a wreck and a motor vehicle and your seat belt doesn't work or your airbag fails or your roof crushes in too far or your accelerator sticks or your gas tank catches on fire because it's in the wrong place, those consequences and those results can be deadly and can cause catastrophic injuries. Perhaps one of the most tragic products liability cases that I've handled involves a defective child's toy. Cribs, strollers, small toys with magnets, LED pain in them can have devastating consequences on children and the manufacturers of those products should be held liable when their products injure someone. Other examples of products liability cases involve prescription drugs, food that's not edible, it looks edible but it causes you to get sick, those type things or products that we consume into our bodies that can injure us but also results on our products liability claim. If you've been injured by a defective product, you can look on the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website which is shown with a computer screen behind me and find out whether the product that injured you has been subject to a recall. If it has, then there's a known danger with that product.

Generally, attorneys only pursue product liability cases that involve some type of serious injury or death. And the reason for that is these case are extremely complex. They can involve different types of expert witness, witnesses, specialists in various fields. They can be extremely expensive, extremely time-consuming. So they are among the most complex types of personal injury litigation that an attorney can handle.

Product liability is legal claims against a manufacturer or a seller of a product that's been introduced into the marketplace and is dangerous or defective, causing an injury to someone. They can come in many different forms, including defective manufacturing or marketing improperly. And sometimes in the situation where the product is dangerous inherently, the manufacturer or the seller may fail to warn you adequately about that product. And in all those situations, you may have a claim against the manufacturer or the seller of that product.

Every month, hundreds if not thousands of new products are introduced into the marketplace. The companies that manufacture and distribute these products are legally responsible to make sure that their products are safe for use by the public. Unfortunately, defective and dangerous products continue to be sold to the public every year. For example, I handled a case for a client who had suffered serious lung damage due to a product that had been rushed onto the market without proper testing and with no warning to the public regarding serious risk for injury. Under certain circumstances, an individual who has been injured by a defective product can recover damages from the at-fault corporation who manufactured or distributed the product. These are called product liability cases. These situations are often very complex and require extensive investigation and the hiring of skilled experts to pinpoint the nature of the defect.
