What Is Product Liability and How Does It Work in Hawaii?

Product liability holds sellers and manufacturers legally responsible when they put unreasonably dangerous products on the market. If you or a loved one was injured while using a product the way it was intended, you may have a valid product liability case. This area of law exists to protect consumers from products that should have been safe but instead caused harm. There are three main types of product defects that can lead to legal claims. These include:

  1. Design defects
  2. Manufacturing defects
  3. Failure to warn

A design defect means the product was unsafe from the start. A manufacturing defect occurs when something goes wrong during the production process. A failure to warn refers to missing safety instructions or labels.

In Hawaii, most product liability claims are based on strict liability, meaning you don’t have to prove negligence. If the product was defective and caused harm, the manufacturer or seller may be held liable. It’s also possible to bring claims based on breach of warranty or negligence, depending on the facts.

Knowing your rights under Hawaii’s product liability laws can help protect your future. A qualified defective product lawyer can help you gather evidence and build your claim.

Common Defective Products That Lead to Serious Injuries

Many types of everyday products can be unsafe. Our firm has worked with clients who have been injured by a wide range of consumer products, including medical devices, prescription drugs, auto parts, electronics, and even toys. These items might seem harmless, but they can cause real harm when they fail. Some common types of dangerous products involved in product liability claims include:

  • Defective airbags or brake systems in cars
  • Medical devices that malfunction or cause infection
  • Over-the-counter and prescription drugs with hidden side effects
  • Electronics that catch fire or cause an electric shock
  • Household tools or appliances that break during use
  • Children’s toys with choking hazards or toxic materials

Injuries can range from burns and fractures to long-term conditions and catastrophic injuries. In the worst cases, these accidents result in wrongful death.

Additionally, a product doesn’t have to be recalled to be unsafe. If you believe a defective product caused your injury, a product liability lawyer can review the details and explain your options. These cases often require fast action, especially when evidence is needed to prove the product’s failure.

What to Expect When Filing a Product Liability Claim

Filing a product liability claim in Hawaii involves a series of steps. At Recovery Law Center, we guide you through the process, helping you focus on your recovery and healing. Here’s what to expect:

  • Free consultation: We begin by reviewing your situation to determine if you have a valid product liability case and explain your legal options in plain language.
  • Gathering evidence: Our attorneys collect supporting information, such as product photos, medical records, witness statements, and opinions, to prove that the product was defective and caused your injuries.
  • Filing your claim: Once the evidence is ready, we file your case against the manufacturer, seller, or other party that may be held liable.
  • Seeking compensation: You may be eligible to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care resulting from a serious personal injury.
  • Wrongful death claims: If a defective product caused the loss of a loved one, we may file a wrongful death claim on your behalf.
  • Related legal issues: In some cases, concerns about medical malpractice or legal malpractice may also arise, which require attention.
  • Legal deadlines: Hawaii law limits how long you have to file a claim, so it’s essential to act quickly to protect your rights.
