There are generally three legal theories that can be used to prove the manufacturer or another party may be liable for a consumer’s injuries:
This legal theory is used in most product liability cases against manufacturers, designers and distributors. The plaintiff must show the product was defective and the defect caused injury.
Unlike other types of cases, victims do not need to prove the at-fault party breached a duty of care. The designer could have used reasonable care, but if the product was defective and was the reason for someone’s injury, the manufacturer could be held liable.
In these cases, the attorney must prove the at-fault party breached a duty of care to act with reasonable care. The breach of duty of care must be linked to the victim’s injuries, and those injuries must have resulted in damages.
Sometimes a manufacturer or retailer violates an expressly stated warranty about the product’s safety. Other times, there is a breach of the implied warranty. An implied warranty is usually offered by the manufacturer. It simply means the product is safe if used as it is intended.

However, there are some exceptions to this deadline. For example, if you did not discover your injury until later, you may have more time to file your case. There is also a different deadline for minor victims.
