Compensation Awards in Montana

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

Product Liability Laws

Three different kinds of defects are classified in the laws of Product Liability in Montana.

First, there are manufacturing defects. These are defects that occur when a product is soundly designed, but some error in its manufacturing caused it to be defective. For example, the design of a chair might call for a specific type of wood to be used in the legs. If another, more brittle type, were used instead, this would be a manufacturing defect.

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