What You Need to Know About Product Liability Law in Albany, GA
Before we discuss your legal options, we want you to know a few basics about product liability laws and how they relate to your case. First things first: as a consumer, you have the right to safety when using a product as instructed. So, unlike other personal injury cases, you don’t have to prove negligence.
Instead, product manufacturers and distributors follow a doctrine of strict liability, meaning they are responsible for any injuries their products cause. Per O.C.G.A. § 51-1-11.1, you only have to establish that:
- You used the product that injured you in its intended manner.
- The product was defective, or its risks were not disclosed to you.
- You would not have been injured if not for the product’s defect.
- The injuries you sustained caused you to suffer financial consequences.
Three Types of Product Defects
Under these criteria, defects could manifest in the following ways:
- Design defects: Whether due to initial flaws in the engineering or a failure to adequately test the product, there is an inherent defect in it. An example could be a power tool without proper safety features.
- Manufacturing defects: At some point during the manufacturing process, the product developed a flaw or defect. The cause could be equipment malfunction on the assembly line or the presence of an unwanted outside influence. An example could be a drug that was exposed to conditions that altered its chemistry.
- Marketing defects: If the product is not packaged correctly or given complete instructions and warnings, it is a failure on the part of its marketing. An example includes a medical device that fails to tell the patient of the potential risks involved with its use.
Parties Who May Be Liable for a Product Defect
Potentially liable parties we can pursue for damages on your behalf include:
- Designers
- Engineers
- Manufacturers
- Marketers
- Distributors
Types of Product Liability Cases Bader Law Represents

Damages You Can Recover by Filing an Albany Product Liability Case
Accurately assessing your case is important. We don’t want to leave a dime on the table when negotiations conclude. Our investigation will create a two-fold collection of evidence: one section that uncovers the product’s defect and one that documents the value of your recoverable damages.
A settlement or court award should account for each of your injury-related expenses, including the following:
- Current medical bills and future healthcare expenses
- Lost wages while you recovered
- Lost earning potential if your injuries affect your ability to work
- Property damage or destruction
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
- Diminished quality of life
When we take on your case, we create a detailed list of your losses, making sure we don’t miss anything. We may also consult with medical and financial experts to understand the costs you could experience in the future.
Why the Timing of Your Albany Product Liability Lawsuit Matters
Your lawsuit’s filing deadline is an important aspect of your case. If you miss the deadline, even by a day, you could lose the right to seek compensation in a Dougherty County civil court. The liable insurer would have no obligation to pay you, either.
According to the statute of limitations, O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have two years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. The sooner you get us involved in your case, the better. Our product liability attorneys serving Albany will work hard to file your lawsuit within the allotted time.
