A common question asked by injured parties, is who is liable for my injuries? In product liability cases, any commercial seller in the chain of distribution or manufacturing is responsible. This refers to any distributor, wholesaler, retailer and manufacturer. While most manufacturers indemnify their distribution network, it is still important to hold all parties responsible in order to procure the maximum settlement for your injuries. The manufacturer will be liable when they produce a defective product and place it in the stream of commerce for sale. What makes a product defective? A product is defective when it fails to perform in the manner it is intended. With regards to jet skis, they are considered defective when they fail to perform in the manner for which they were designed. Product defects can come in the way of manufacturing defects, design defects or failure to properly warn. Other theories can be failure to anticipate the use of the product.
