Chatham County, Georgia negligent design law firm
Manufacturers have an obligation to design products that are reasonably safe for all intended and reasonably foreseeable uses. This is another manner of saying that courts make manufacturers pay for injuries that juries consider ought to have been prevented. In deciding whether the manufacturer was negligent in designing the product, the jury looks at the likelihood and likely severity of the injuries presented by the design against the increased burden of using a safer design. The parties generally depend on expert witnesses whose testimony is used to demonstrate that the design chosen was or was not reasonably safe.
Product manufacturers also have a duty to exercise reasonable care in manufacturing their products. This type of claim can arise if the product was designed properly, however the particular product that resulted in the plaintiff’s injury did not conform to product specifications. Examples of negligent manufacturing claims include:
• poor assembly of products;
• use of component parts that did not conform to design specifications;
• failure to inspect component parts supplied by third parties for defects; and
• failure to inspect finished products and correct any products not conforming to product specifications.
