Minnesota Product Liability Attorneys
Many of us go through our day-to-day lives without really reflecting on the amount of trust we place in the producers of products we use every day. We simply take it for granted that our cars, medicine, safety equipment, and children’s toys, to name only a few, will be designed and built with our best interests in mind. It is only when we or our loved ones are injured by a poorly-produced or defective product that we are forced to examine our faith in corporations.
Although these corporations often try to dismiss product liability claims as frivolous, the truth is that manufacturers have an obligation to the people who use their products. Minnesota product liability lawyers Terry & Slane believe that, when an oversight by a manufacturer causes innocent people to become hurt or sick, the company should be held responsible.
Types of Minnesota Product Liability Suits
Products can be deficient in two basic ways:
For example, seat belts are sometimes found to have a manufacturing defect. The basic design of the seat belt may be sound, but if it is constructed out of faulty material, the fabric will rip in an accident, making the seat belt useless.
Other seat belts have been shown to have a design defect; this means that, because of the way the locking mechanism or some other crucial part is designed, the belt will not tighten sufficiently during an accident, regardless of the material used to make the belt.
