A product liability claim arises when a defective or dangerous product causes injury. This includes design defects, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings.
To succeed in such a claim, the injured party must prove that the defect directly led to their harm and that the manufacturer or seller is legally responsible.
Missouri law generally requires filing product liability claims within five years from the date the injury occurred. However, specific circumstances can affect this timeline.
It’s important to consult a qualified attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the legal deadline and to preserve evidence.
In many product liability cases, you do not need to prove negligence but must show the product was defective and caused your injury. Strict liability often applies to manufacturers and sellers.
This approach helps protect consumers by holding companies accountable regardless of fault when unsafe products reach the market.
