Determining Wheelchair manufacture Liability – Who i Liable for My Injury Claim

According to Product liability Law any entity with the chain of distribution and manufacturing of a defective product may be held liable for injuries sustained to a victim. Such products released in the market would most likely produce general negative public opinion, and the manufacturers could be labeled as frauds. But more than just a product that deviated away from its marketed purpose, there is also the problem of actual harm caused by defective products. This harm can be caused by the actual product itself, or can be the result of faulty manufacturing. Thus defective products can either be an item that is:

• inherently harmful by itself
• or made harmful due to production mishaps

Negligence is always the main cause attributed to almost all defective products, and it is of course always aimed at the manufacturers. It is after all, the duty of the distributor to make sure that the products that they are selling won’t have any severe adverse affects, and it is their responsibility to warn people of any mild drawbacks.
