Understanding Product Liability Law

In Ontario, manufacturers have a legal duty to ensure their products are safe when used as intended. There are three main types of product defects:

  • Manufacturing Defects When something goes wrong during production, making the product different from its intended design. For example, a batch of medication contaminated during manufacturing.
  • Design Defects When the product’s design itself is inherently dangerous. For example, a ladder design that makes it prone to tipping over even when used properly.
  • Warning Defects When manufacturers fail to provide adequate warnings about known risks or proper usage instructions. For example, not warning about dangerous side effects of a medication.

Why You Need a Defective Product Lawyer

Product liability cases are complex and require substantial resources to pursue successfully. Manufacturers typically have teams of lawyers and specialists defending against claims. They often try to blame users for “misusing” products or claim that injuries were caused by something else entirely.

Our team knows how to overcome these common defense tactics. We work with technical specialists, medical professionals, and accident reconstruction specialists to build compelling cases that prove manufacturer liability. We also understand the various insurance policies and corporate structures involved in product liability claims.

Compensation in defective product cases may include:

  • Medical expenses for treatment of your injuries 
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity if your injuries affect your ability to work
  • Pain and suffering for physical discomfort and emotional distress 
  • Rehabilitation costs for ongoing therapy and recovery needs 
  • Scarring and disfigurement when injuries cause permanent changes to appearance 
  • Property damage if the defective product damaged your other belongings

What Should You Do After a Defective Product Injury?

If you’ve been injured by what you believe is a defective product, taking the right steps can protect your legal rights:

  • Seek immediate medical attention even if injuries seem minor, as some problems may worsen over time.
  • Preserve the defective product and don’t attempt to repair it. The product itself is crucial evidence.
  • Document everything including photographs of your injuries, the product, and any property damage.
  • Keep all packaging, receipts, and instruction manuals as these provide important information about the product.
  • Report the incident to Health Canada or other relevant regulatory agencies if appropriate.
  • Avoid giving statements to insurance representatives or manufacturers until you’ve consulted with a lawyer.
  • Keep records of all expenses related to your injury, including medical bills and lost wages.
  • Contact our team for an experienced defective product lawyer consultation.
