What Are the Common Legal Theories in Product Liability Cases?
Product liability cases often rely on three main legal theories: negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty. Negligence involves a failure to exercise reasonable care in the design, manufacture, or warning of a product. Strict liability holds manufacturers accountable regardless of fault if a product is deemed inherently unsafe. Breach of warranty claims arise when a product fails to meet the terms of its express or implied guarantees.
