Products Liability Lawsuits in Hawaii

Products liability claims are civil lawsuits that aim to hold an entity (such as a manufacturer) liable for damages caused by its products. Products claims can be brought on grounds of negligence and / or strict liability over issues such as:

  • Manufacturing defects
  • Design defects
  • Failure to use a safer alternative design
  • Failures to warn
  • Inadequate instructions
  • Car rental company liability

Product liability suits give victims the right to a financial recovery of their damages. This financial recovery can compensate for medical expenses, lost income during recovery, pain and suffering, and other economic and non-economic damages caused by the accident. Victims who suffer serious injuries can also recover future damages.

Our attorneys can investigate your case and evaluate whether you have grounds to bring legal action. Common examples of defective products which incur liability on the part of a manufacturer include airbags that fail to deploy, dangerous children's toys, and prescription drugs with harmful side-effects.
