• Investigate your accident and injuries
• Determine if the product has been recalled or tied to other lawsuits
• Gather critical evidence showing the defect and its link to your injuries
• Consult with engineering, medical, and industry experts
• Aggressively negotiate with the manufacturer and its insurers
• Advise you during settlement discussions
• Take your case to trial in Gwinnett County, if necessary

What Are the Three Main Types of Product Liability Claims?

Georgia recognizes three main product defect claims based on strict liability:

1. Design Defect

The product is inherently dangerous due to its design—e.g., a pesticide containing a known carcinogen. Manufacturers can be liable if a safer alternative design existed.

2. Manufacturing Defect

The product’s design is sound, but something went wrong in the manufacturing process—e.g., a ladder with the wrong bolts.

3. Failure to Warn (Marketing Defect)

Manufacturers must warn of non-obvious risks. A company that fails to provide adequate warnings about dangers—such as a medication known to cause kidney failure—can be held liable.

What Are the Elements of a Successful Product Liability Lawsuit?

To win a product liability lawsuit in Georgia based on strict liability, you must prove:

• The company designed, manufactured, or sold the product
• The product was defective
• The defect caused your injury
• You used the product as intended or foreseeably
• You suffered damages

Alternatively, you may sue based on negligence if unreasonable conduct led to a dangerous product entering the market.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Product Liability Case in Georgia?

You may be entitled to compensatory damages, including:

Economic Damages:

• Present and future medical bills
• Rehabilitation
• Nursing and home care
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Lost income
• Reduced earning capacity
• Funeral expenses

Non-Economic Damages:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• PTSD
• Loss of consortium

Punitive damages may apply in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Expect the manufacturer to try to minimize your injuries. Count on our Georgia product liability lawyers to push back and fight for full compensation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Product Liability Lawsuit in Georgia?

Under Georgia law:

• The statute of limitations is 2 years from the date you discover the injury.
• A statute of repose also applies—you must file within 10 years of the product’s first sale, regardless of when the injury is discovered.

If you miss these deadlines, you forfeit your right to compensation. Protect your rights by contacting Lawson Personal Injury Attorneys right away.
