Understanding Product Liability in South Carolina
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility manufacturers and sellers bear when a product causes harm due to defects in its design, manufacturing, or marketing. In South Carolina, product liability cases fall under strict liability, negligence, or breach of warranty. You may have a claim if you were injured while using a product as intended and the product was unreasonably dangerous.
There are three primary types of product defects:
-
Design Defects – These occur when the product’s design is inherently unsafe, even if manufactured correctly.
-
Manufacturing Defects – These result from errors in the production process, causing some items to deviate from the intended design.
-
Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn) – This involves the failure to provide adequate instructions or warnings about potential risks.
Whether your injury stemmed from faulty auto parts, malfunctioning electronics, tainted food, or hazardous medical devices, our attorneys are prepared to evaluate your case.
