This video discusses product liability. Product liability is the area which covers those who place products into the stream of commerce. Those entities are liable for injuries as a result of defective products.

Product liability law is derived from tor law. A tort is an act or omission that causes injury or harm for which a court can impose liability.

It is broken up further into two categories: injury and damages. There are three levels of intent as it relates to tort law. Intentional, negligent, and strict liability. In most cases, liability must include intentional and negligent action. Anyone in the chain of distribution can be considered liable. This includes the manufacturer, the distributor, the wholesaler, and the retailer.

There are four possible bases in product liability. These include defects in design, manufacturing defects, failure to warn, and breach of warranty.

A product liability lawyer can determine if any of the bases apply to a product. Each base has different criteria for that base to be met. They can also assist when there is a product liability case.

One may wonder why there is a need for both criminal lawyers and civil litigation attorneys. Are these two not one and the same? Well, the truth is that civil litigation attorneys do different work from criminal lawyers for various reasons.

We are familiar with both civil and criminal litigation, but how exactly do these vary from each other? Civil litigation attorneys know just the answer.

For one, civil litigations are charges that do not include criminal offenses. A person who commits something wrong that is not considered to be a crime will be facing civil litigation, not criminal litigation.

Some examples of civil litigations are personal injury cases, labor disputes, or medical malpractice. These wrongdoings do not necessarily end up in court at all times. Because of the cost of trials and the length of time spent on them, civil litigation attorneys exert efforts in order to not reach trial.

On the other hand, a trial is not always necessary to achieve the compensation or specific performance aimed by the plaintiff. By hiring the right civil litigation attorneys, trials can be avoided but still, the desired results of the plaintiff can be accomplished. It is all about finding an expert who knows exactly what needs to be done.
