Kenner, LA Products Liability Cases & Kenner Defective Product Attorney

Louisiana has well developed laws concerning products liability, including the Louisiana Products Liability Act. The Louisiana Products Liability Act is codified at Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:2800.51 through 9:2800.59. This law is complicated, which makes it all the more important that you hire a qualified Kenner product liability lawyer to handle your case. In general, a Louisiana resident can recover when they are using a product in a reasonably anticipated way. The court must then find that there was a defect, which made the product unreasonably dangerous. For example, it might be found that the use made was a reasonably anticipated use, for example, using scissors as a box-cutter. On the other hand, it might not be a reasonably anticipated use to use scissors as a screwdriver. If the problem with the scissors is that they were sharp, they are probably not unreasonably dangerous, because scissors need to be sharp. However, if they snapped or broke, they could have been defectively manufactured or designed, and you may win a products liability case against the manufacturer, distributor, or other parties, including the manufacturer of component parts that may have malfunctioned and caused the defect leading to your injury. 

It should be noted that many states, including Louisiana, have enacted laws preventing people from suing fast food restaurants because they are obese or have gained weight. Thus, fast food will not be deemed a "defective" consumer product in the State of Louisiana.

Specific Types of Products Liability Lawyers:

To be liable to an injured plaintiff, the manufacturer and/or distributor must have placed a product, which subsequently injures someone, into the stream of commerce. Louisiana products liability claims range from defective lawn mowers, cars, planes, appliances, boats, drugs and pharmaceuticals, and many other items that cause Kenner residents injuries each day.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Dangerous Product?

In Louisiana, the manufacturer is the party most likely to be held liable. There are also situations where the seller or distributor can be responsible, especially if they make changes to the product or control its design. Usually someone leasing goods or land is not considered to have control under Louisiana law and will not be responsible for damages caused by the product. (LSA-C.C. Art. 2317.1)

Kenner Rollover Accident Lawyers & Southern Louisiana Crashworthiness Lawyers 

Another type of products liability case that is often overlooked by the untrained practitioner involves vehicles that are unfit for sale and perform badly in auto accidents and frequently roll over. These cases occur when a car, van, pick-up truck, or Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) rolls over or malfunctions in an auto accident. There are many potential injuries that can result when this happens on one of Southeastern Louisiana's highways.  

A seatbelt, airbag, or other malfunction may make the vehicle unreasonably dangerous and unfit to be sold on the market. Issues involving seat belts that come undone are often involved, causing passengers to be ejected from the vehicle and sustain more severe injuries than they would have otherwise. Similarly, roof crushing and other poor designs in a faulty vehicle may result in the death or permanent paralysis of the vehicle's occupants. If you or a loved one has been injured due to faulty vehicle design, crashworthiness failures, or a vehicle rollover, consult a Kenner crashworthiness attorney, Southeastern Louisiana roll over attorney, or Jefferson Parish products liability attorney today.
