Compensation Awards in Mississippi

Most of the products on the shelves of stores have been tested and retested for safety. However, there are times where a product in Gulfport is defective. When a defective product causes an injury, this brings up the sphere of law called Product Liability.

The Law of Product Liability in Mississippi

Defective products are classified into three different classes in Mississippi.

First, manufacturing defects are those defects that stem from the actual manufacture of the product. For instance, if a desk collapses because the manufacturer did not put in three bolts that were required by the design, this would be a manufacturing defect.

The second type is the design defect. This happens when a product is not of sound design, and will be defective even if made to specifications. For instance, if a kitchen knife's specifications call for a metal blade that is very thin and brittle, creating a risk that it might break, causing injury, this is a design defect.
