Products Liability FAQ’s
What is product liability?
Product liability is a legal framework that holds manufacturers, distributors, or retailers responsible when defective or dangerous products cause injury or loss. This can be applied to everything from household appliances to failed auto parts that may have caused an accident. Speak with a dedicated products liability attorney at Mitchell Law to learn if your circumstance qualifies for a lawsuit.
How do I prove a product was defective?
Product liability law recognizes design defects (the product is inherently unsafe), manufacturing defects (a mistake in the assembly process makes a specific unit or batch hazardous), and marketing or warning defects (insufficient instructions or safety labels). To succeed in a claim, you must show that one of these defects existed when the product left the manufacturer, the defect directly caused your injury, and you were using the product as intended. Our product liability lawyer in Memphis gathers expert analyses, recall data, and inspection reports to link the defect to your damages and meet this burden of proof.
What compensation can I claim?
Victims may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and—when conduct is egregious—punitive damages.
Who can be held liable?
Depending on the defect, responsibility may fall on designers, manufacturers, wholesalers, or retailers. We pursue every link in the supply chain to maximize recovery.
How long do I have to file a claim in Tennessee and Mississippi?
Tennessee generally allows one year from the injury date, while Mississippi provides three years. Because evidence degrades over time, contact a product liability lawyer in Memphis promptly to safeguard your rights on either side of the state line.
