Liberty County, Georgia negligent design attorney
Manufacturers have an obligation to manufacturer products that are reasonably safe for all intended and reasonably foreseeable uses. This is another way of saying that courts make manufacturers pay for injuries that juries think must have been prevented. In deciding if the manufacturer was negligent in designing the product, the jury checks the likelihood and potential severity of the injuries caused by the design against the increased burden of using a safer design. The parties usually rely on expert witnesses whose testimony is used to establish that the design selected was or was not reasonably safe.
Product manufacturers also have a duty to exercise reasonable care in manufacturing their products. This type of claim can arise when the product was designed properly, however the particular product that resulted in the claimant’s injury did not conform to product specifications. Instances of negligent manufacturing claims include:
• poor assembly of products;
• use of component parts that did not conform to design specifications;
• failure to inspect component parts supplied by third parties for defects; and
• failure to inspect finished products and correct any products not conforming to product specifications.
