When a defective product causes an injury to a consumer of the product, a products liability suit may be appropriate. Products are generally thought of as tangible personal property (automobiles, helicopters, airplanes, ladders, car seats, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, farm equipment, and household products and appliances).

In Wisconsin, a plaintiff in a products liability case must first prove that the product is defective and unreasonably dangerous. Product defect claims against a manufacturer or suppliers are based on design defects, manufacturing defects, and defects in marketing. Design defects exist before the product is manufactured. Manufacturing defects happen while the product is being constructed or produced. Marketing defects arise from improper instructions and failures to warn consumers about a dangerous aspect of the product. Proving that the product was defective is the most difficult and important aspect of a products liability lawsuit.

However, if you have been seriously injured by a defective product, you should consult with an experienced products liability lawyer. A products liability case can be filed against the parties involved in the manufacturing and sale of the product, including the manufacturer of component parts, an assembling manufacturer, the wholesaler, and the retail store owner. We have successfully represented many individuals from across the United States injured as a result of unsafe products.
