Liability for Injuries, Who is At Fault?

Liability for these types of accidents will almost always be placed on the manufacturer. When a manufacturer of a product puts into commerce a product that is defective, they will be held liable for any damages sustained by the end user or consumer. Liability will be imposed on the manufacturer for the harm suffered by the user of the product.

Additionally, liability can be imposed on the resellers or distributors of the product. In such cases it is important to identify which party was at fault. Typically, the manufacturer will be the proper party to pursue a cause of action, however in certain cases you can find 3rd party distributors of the product liable as well.
