Defective Products
Products liability law in the state of Connecticut is based on the Connecticut Product Liability Act, which allows for legal defective products cases when negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty is involved.
To win a defective products case based on negligence, there are five conditions that must be satisfied: duty, breach of duty, cause in fact, proximate cause, and damages.
Winning a defective products case based on strict liability means the case must meet the following three criteria:
- The product had an unreasonably dangerous defect that caused injury to the end user.
- The injury occurred while the plaintiff used the product in a way the manufacturer intended it to be used.
- The plaintiff did not make any substantial changes to the product.
When forming a defense in a defective product case, the attorney or attorneys will typically try to argue the injury was caused by an unintended modification once it left the manufacturer or that the plaintiff voluntarily assumed risk by using the product in its defective condition. Some defendants will even try to claim that they didn’t know about a product’s risk due to the technology currently available. If you’re looking to bring a defective products case against a Connecticut manufacturer, you need a law firm that’s well versed in Connecticut products liability law, as well as a law firm that isn’t afraid of taking a case to trial if you aren’t offered fair compensation by the product manufacturer.
