In the ever-evolving landscape of product liability, both plaintiffs and defendants must understand the different types of cases and how to navigate them effectively. Product liability cases can arise from numerous consumer products, from everyday household items to complex industrial equipment. At ATA Associates, we’ve built our reputation on providing comprehensive accident reconstruction services that can make a pivotal difference in these legal battles.
Types of Product Liability Cases
Design Defects: These occur when a product is inherently unsafe due to its design, even if it is manufactured correctly. Designing out these dangers relies heavily on a thorough understanding of industry standards and alternative design concepts, areas where ATA Associates excels.
Manufacturing Defects: Unlike design flaws, these defects occur during the production process. They represent deviations from the product’s intended design, making them difficult to detect without expert analysis. ATA Associates’ failure analysis capabilities ensure that every aspect of the production process is scrutinized to pinpoint these critical errors.
Marketing Defects: Often known as “failure to warn,” these cases involve insufficient instructions or warnings provided with a product. Our team can create demonstratives illustrating how proper labeling and instructions could have prevented an incident.
