If you want to know how product liability laws truly affect you, then consider an auto accident. You are involved in an auto or truck accident and the airbag does not deploy as it should. You receive injuries because of this mishap. If the automobile manufacturer knew that there was a problem with the airbags and did not issue a recall, then personal injury attorneys could sue the manufacturer to get you money for your injuries. The same liability applies to any product that is given out for public use or consumption.

Before a personal injury law firm becomes involved on a case by case basis, there is usually an investigation by a governing board that oversees the quality of products for that manufacturing group. If it was a case of salmonella poisoning, then the Food and Drug Administration would do a thorough investigation of the facility that produced the food that was contaminated.

After the investigation was complete and there was conclusive evidence that the manufacturer had a faulty product, many companies will issue a recall and then begin to pay restitution to parties that were injured. In many cases there will be a class action lawsuit and a court will set an amount to be divided among the people who have been injured as a result of the product failure.

There are other cases when product liabilities do come into play. In general, these cases have not been the result of an accident. It may simply be a breach of warranty or other consumer protection laws. Injury claims are generally not found in breaches of warranty. It is only when there is a defect or the product does not work as it is advertised that an injury claim can result.
