Helpful Online Information
We have posted some online topics related to auto accidents that we feel are useful, educational, and helpful to those of you who may have been involved in a car accident.
Negligence
Negligence is one of the primary causes of automobile accidents. A basic negligence claim consists of proof of
- A duty owed,
- A breach of that duty,
- An injury, and
- That the breach caused the plaintiff's injury
Product liability and negligence
A products liability claim is usually based on one or more of the following causes of action:
- Design defect,
- Manufacturing defect,
- A failure to warn.
The claims may succeed even when products were used incorrectly by the consumer, as long as the incorrect use was foreseeable by the manufacturer (or other party in the "supply chain").
Liability
Products liability claims are, in general, based on negligence, but may also proceed on a liability theory called "strict liability." Under strict liability, under certain circumstances, the manufacturer is liable if the product is defective, even if the manufacturer was not negligent in making that product defective.
