- Product Liability - Products that break or fail to operate properly can and do cause injuries to both businesses and consumers. Examples such as the exploding Pinto gas tank, or the poisoned Tylenol demonstrate the danger of unsafe products to the user. However, equipment and products that break down or fail to operate properly (as advertised) may create a claim for lost earnings under the UCC warrantee provisions or under common law. If you eat contaminated food you may have a product liability claim against the server of the food as well as the producer. Your claim may include lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering and if the person or organization who produced or sold the product was negligent you may have a claim for punitive damages. Product liability and warrantee cases tend to be long, expensive and complex. It is important that you secure legal representation as soon as possible after the injury or product failure. Take pictures of the product and the area where the injury occurred. Try to save the item that injured you or damaged your business. It will be important to have the dangerous product analyzed to prove that it was either unsafe, or that it failed to perform its intended function.
