• If you have suffered an injury due to a defective
  product, you may file a defective product
  liability claim.
• Your product liability claim can be based on
  different legal theories such as strict
  liability, negligence, breach of warranty and
  fraud.
• The following are the elements of the most common
  legal theories used in a product liability claim

Strict Product Liability

• In a strict product liability case, a victim must
  show that
• A product was sold with no warning or inadequate
  warning, or was sold in an unreasonably dangerous
  condition.
• The victim was injured by the defective product.

Negligence

• In a product liability case based on negligence,
  a victim must show that
• The defendant owed a duty of care.
• The defendants actions breached that duty of
  care.
• The defendants breach caused the victims
  injuries.

5
Fraud

• In a product liability case based on a "fraud"
  legal theory, a victim must show that
• The defendant made certain representations about
  the product that were not true.
• The defendant was aware that those
  representations were not true or not likely to be
  true.
• The representations were made so that the victim
  would buy the product.
• The victim was justified in relying on the
  representations.
• The defendants false representations caused
  damage to the victim.

Breach

• In a product liability case based on breach of
  warranty, a victim must show that
• The product had an express or implied warranty.
