To this the spokesman responded that, “if you are injured or suffer some loss or damage because of a product you used, you may be entitled to recover for your injury or loss. This kind of lawsuit, for injury or damage related to injuries sustained because of a product used, is called a defective product liability claim.”
 
Question 2: What are the different kinds of defective product liability claims?

To this the spokesman stated that, “while there are a wide range of injury-causing products in the market, there are three categories for defective product liability lawsuits.” These categories are:

1. Defectively manufactured products – these products are manufactured incorrectly in some way because of a mistake made either at the factory or at some point between the factory and wherever the product was bought which resulted in the product being faulty; and thus, such a product falls under defectively manufactured products.  
    
2. Defectively designed – this refers to products which are dangerous in some way but are manufactured correctly. Where such cases occur a whole product line, range or batch is affected by the defective design and are said to be unreasonably dangerous.
    
3. Failure to provide or inadequate warnings and instructions – this is where the product does not come with the proper warning label or instructions as to how to use the product safely and appropriately. Or the product has instructions or warnings, but these are inadequate. This can be because of no physical labeling of products or marketing that is misleading. This category can also be called ‘defective marketing claims’.

Question 3: What must I do in order to win my defective product liability lawsuit?

To this the spokesman responded that, in general, one needs to have compelling evidence of what he or she wants to prove in his or her case to win a lawsuit. Defective product liability lawsuits are no different however, they focus on four elements:

1. Proof of being injured or suffering harm or damage
2. Proof that the product involved in your case was somehow defective or lacked the proper warnings or instructions.
3. Proof that your injuries or damages resulted from the product defect or the lack of proper warnings or instructions
4. Proof that when you were injured you were using the injury causing product in the way the product was intended to be used.

Question 4: Do I need legal representation for my defective liability lawsuit?

The short answer is yes. The main reason is that most cases involve complex laws and are typically against large companies that have a team of experienced and aggressive lawyers defending them.  Thus, it is best for the individual to find a team of experience Anchorage lawyers who will stand up for them and level the playing field.
