Compensation Awards in Indiana

When you walk into a store these days, you can expect that almost every product on the shelves has been tested and re-tested for safety. However, on rare occasions, a product in Bloomington is defective. When a defective product causes an injury, this brings up the scope of law called Product Liability.

The Law of Product Liability in Indiana

Defective products are grouped into three different classes in Indiana.

The first is known as "manufacturing defects." These defects exist when a product is of sound design, but was assembled or built improperly. For instance, the design of an electric saw might include an emergency shutoff switch. If this switch was installed improperly, and therefore didn't work, this would be an example of a manufacturing defect.

The second type are design defects. Design defects are found when the plans off of which the products are built are faulty themselves. If, for instance, a thermos called for too thin of a material to be used, and hot liquids spilled out and burned the user, this would be a design defect.
