Frequently Asked Questions About Product Liability Claims
Ohio’s product liability laws define a product as “any object, substance, mixture or raw material that constitutes tangible personal property” that is “produced, manufactured or supplied for introduction into trade or commerce.” This broad definition covers consumer products, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, children’s products, electronics, machinery and equipment, food and beverages, household chemicals, and construction materials. Our team can clarify whether your specific item qualifies during your free consultation.
Product liability claims typically involve three types of defects: design defects (flaws in how the product was originally designed that make it inherently dangerous), manufacturing defects (errors that occur during production causing individual products to differ from their intended design), and marketing defects (inadequate warnings, instructions, or labeling that fail to inform consumers of risks). Any one of these can lead to serious injuries.
Your claim may include any parties who contributed to the product’s defect and your subsequent injuries. Potential defendants may include the designer, manufacturer, supplier, marketer, shipper, and retailer. In many cases, multiple parties share responsibility for a defective product. As your product liability lawyer in Columbus, we will investigate the entire supply chain to identify all liable parties and maximize your potential compensation.
You can pursue compensation for current and future medical expenses, lost wages from time away from work, future lost income if you cannot return to your previous employment, pain and suffering, permanent disability or disfigurement, rehabilitation and therapy costs, and reduced quality of life. If a defective product caused a loved one’s death, you may also file a wrongful death claim to recover funeral costs, loss of companionship, and loss of future income.
The statute of limitations in Ohio awards you a two-year window from the date of injury to initiate a product liability action. Missing this deadline means losing your right to compensation entirely. But the real urgency isn’t the statute of limitations—it’s evidence preservation. We’ve seen cases where waiting just months meant the critical product was thrown away, or manufacturing records were destroyed or became “unavailable”. We start investigating immediately because early action makes the difference between a strong case and no case at all. Contact a product liability attorney as soon as possible.
Seek medical attention immediately and keep the defective product in a safe place—do not throw it away or repair it. Document your injuries with photos, keep all medical records and receipts, preserve packaging and instructions that came with the product, note the product’s make, model, and serial number, and contact a Columbus product liability lawyer before speaking with the manufacturer or their insurance company. Evidence preservation is critical in product liability cases.
Yes. You don’t need to be the original purchaser to file a product liability claim. If you were injured by a defective product—whether you bought it, received it as a gift, borrowed it, or encountered it in another setting—you may have a valid claim. Our team will evaluate your specific circumstances and explain your legal options.
