Your Guide to Defective Product Laws in Georgia

Dangerous and defective product cases fall under state law. Under GA Code § 51-1-11, manufacturers and other corporations may bear legal responsibility for harm caused by a defective product. Here is an overview of key points about product liability laws in Georgia: 

• A Strict Liability Standard for Defective Products: Unlike most other types of accident and injury claims in Georgia, you do not necessarily have to prove negligence to bring a successful product liability lawsuit. Georgia is a strict liability state for defective product claims. If you can prove a product is defective and that you were harmed because of that defect, the responsible party—most often the manufacturer—may bear strict liability for your injuries.  
• Three Main Types of Product Liability Cases: There are three main types of product liability cases in Georgia: 1) Design Defects, 2) Manufacturing Defects, and 3) Failure to Warn. A design defect exists when the inherent design of the product is unsafe to users even with proper manufacturing. A manufacturing defect occurs when a product deviates from its intended design, thereby rendering it unsafe. Finally, failure to warn where proper guidance and/or product safety warnings are not provided.
• Complex Deadlines (Statute of Limitations and Statute of Repose): There are complex deadlines in product liability claims in Georgia. To start, these cases are subject to a two year statute of limitations. A claim must be filed within two years of the date the victim knew or should have known about their injuries. Beyond that, Georgia has a ten year statute of repose. In most cases, a product liability claim in Georgia cannot be filed after ten years of the date of the initial sale of a product. 

Recovering the Maximum Financial Support for Injured Victims

A dangerous and defective product can cause severe injuries to an innocent person. It is imperative that injured victims are able to secure every penny of financial compensation that is available under the law so that they can pay their bills and support their families. In Georgia, product liability cases allow for the recovery of both economic losses and non-economic damages.
