What Does Product Liability Refer To?
“Product liability” refers to manufacturers’, assemblers’, and sellers’ responsibility for the products that they produce. Each party in the chain of a product’s custody has a responsibility to ensure that the product is safe for the end consumer.
Who Can Bring a Product Liability Case?
You may generally bring a product liability case if:
- You suffered injuries from a dangerous product, or
- Your loved one died because of injuries from a dangerous product.
A product does not have to have a design defect for you to bring a lawsuit, though this is a common reason for product liability cases. You may also file a product liability claim if:
- The product’s design is dangerous, making it a hazard when no defect is present.
- The product’s manufacturing process led to defects in the finished product.
- A product lacks sufficient instructions, exposing users to danger because they do not know how to use it safely.
- A product lacks necessary safety warnings.
Other circumstances may justify you bringing a product liability case. Our Gainesville product liability lawyers will determine if you have a claim.

What Is the Statute of Limitations in Product Liability Cases?
Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have two years to file a product liability lawsuit in Georgia. However, there may be exceptions, and it’s vital to talk with your attorney about any timeline concerns you have.
As much as possible, we will work to move quickly with our investigation and file your case within all required deadlines.
What Should You Do if You’ve Been Injured by a Dangerous Product?
After you receive medical attention, there are a few additional steps to take, which can help preserve your claim. Make sure you:
- Document Your Injuries: Take photos of any visible injuries you have. You should also photograph the product and the surrounding area if it damaged anything else. If it is safe to do so, keep the product, as we will analyze it as part of our investigation.
- Avoid Taking Blame: If insurance adjusters from the liable party’s company contact you, answer questions directly. However, you should avoid apologizing or taking blame. They may try to imply that you misused the product. If you have a lawyer, have them present for any conversations you have with the insurance company.
- Continue Prescribed Treatments: If your doctor prescribes a treatment plan, begin and do not stop your treatment until a doctor advises you to do so. Stopping or delaying treatment may be taken as a sign that your injury was not serious.
