Strict Liability for Defective Products in Georgia 

Product liability cases are different from most types of personal injury in Georgia. They are not subject to a negligence standard. Instead, under GA Code § 51-1-11, a corporation can be held strictly liable for harm caused by a defective product. This statute holds that if a product is sold in a condition that is not safe for its intended use, the manufacturer or other responsible can be held strictly liable for any resulting damages. Strict liability means that legal responsibility can be imposed without a finding of negligence. Instead, the injured victims must prove that the product in questions was defective and that the defect caused their injury. 

Understanding the Different Types of Product Liability Claims in Jonesboro

There are three different types of product liability claims that may be pursued in Jonesboro, Georgia. You may hold a corporation responsible for a dangerous and defective product on one or more of the following grounds: 

• Design Defects: Design defects occur when a product is inherently unsafe due to its design before it is even manufactured. In such cases, the entire line of products may be faulty. The victim generally needs to prove that the company could have used an alternative, safe design. 
• Manufacturing Defects: Manufacturing defects arise during the production or assembly of a product. This type of defect typically affects only a specific batch of products—not the entire line. Injured victims will generally need to demonstrate that the product deviated from its intended design and that this deviation caused the injury.
• Failure to Warn: Failure to warn or inadequate labeling refers to the manufacturer’s inability to provide sufficient instructions or warnings about the product’s risks. Liability is established if the claimant can prove that the lack of proper warnings or instructions rendered the product unreasonably unsafe for consumers. 

How Much Compensation Can You Recover in a Product Liability Claim in Georgia?
