When we purchase a product at a store, we expect it to be safe. Businesses are supposed to make sure their products are safe, but unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Anything from toys and household items to cars and medication can injure a consumer. In New Mexico, product liability laws are designed to protect consumers from these defective products and provide avenues for legal recourse in case of injury or harm.

A product liability refers to the legal liability a business or manufacturer has to compensate consumers for dangerous, defective products. If a person has been injured by a product, they can file a product liability law claim. This is a type of civil case brought against the manufacturer or distributor.
If you want to file a product liability claim in Farmington, you have to present evidence like the intended use of the product, causation, and injuries suffered. A product liability lawyer can help you collect evidence and put together a solid case.
Strict liability holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers responsible for any harm caused by defective products, regardless of fault or intent. To win a product liability case in New Mexico, you must prove:
Negligence requires demonstrating that the defendant breached their duty of care by failing to make sure their product was safe. Breach of warranty occurs when a product fails to meet the standards promised by the manufacturer or seller, whether expressed or implied.
There’s not just one type of product liability lawsuit out there. Learn about the three types of product liability lawsuits below.
Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with the actual product, but its design is flawed. This means that even if the manufacturing process is flawless, the product remains defective because of its inherent design flaws. People such as designers, engineers, and design firms can be held responsible for these product defects.
Manufacturing defects happen during the production process of a product or one of its components. Despite a perfect design, errors during manufacturing result in flaws in the final product. Unlike design defects, manufacturing defects can often be corrected, allowing the product to return to the market safely.
Marketing defects are challenging. In essence, a product is considered to have defective marketing if the product fails to warn consumers about potential risks. Companies may be liable if they neglect to provide warnings about foreseeable risks, even those associated with unintended uses of the product.
