Michigan product liability law holds manufacturers and sellers liable for defective or dangerous products that injure consumers. Here are some key points about Michigan product liability law:
Liability for defective products
To hold a manufacturer liable, the plaintiff must prove that the product was unreasonably dangerous when it left the manufacturer's control. The product's defect must be due to an unsafe design or manufacturing error.
Liability for non-manufacturing sellers
Non-manufacturing sellers are not liable unless they failed to exercise reasonable care, such as breaching a warranty.
Liability for FDA-approved pharmaceuticals
Manufacturers and sellers of FDA-approved pharmaceuticals are protected from product liability suits unless the FDA determines that fraud or bribery influenced the approval process.
Damages caps
Non-economic damages are capped at $569,000 for 2024, unless the defect caused death or permanent loss of a vital bodily function, in which case the cap is $1,016,000.
Design defects
Design defects are flaws in the product's initial design blueprint, such as a car model that tends to rollover. To prove a design defect, the plaintiff must show that a safer alternative design was feasible and economically viable.
Misrepresentation or fraud
To establish misrepresentation or fraud, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant made a false representation, knew it was false, and intended the plaintiff to act on it.
If you suffered complications after receiving an AngioDynamics or Navilyst Medical catheter, you may be entitled to compensation.
