Product Liability

Because of lax governmental regulations in the United States, many products may pass governmental standards while at the same time being defective and unreasonably dangerous.

If you or a family member have been injured by a defective product, you will need a attorney experienced in the field of products liability law since these cases are among the most complex personal injury cases and can involve principles of engineering, medicine, and other sciences.  You should also hire an attorney with access to the right experts to assist in your case because most products liability cases require the testimony of a number of experts working on your behalf.

In Mississippi, the Mississippi Product Liability Act sets forth the law with regard to Product Liability claims.  Under the act, a product may be dangerous for a number of reasons: defective design, defective manufacture, or a failure to warn.  The Act also imposes other burdens on proof on the injured person in a products liability case.  Again, these are additional reasons why you will require an attorney experienced in products liability litigation.
