Types of Product Liability Cases We Handle
We have experience with a wide range of product liability cases at Whitley Law Firm. Our team is equipped to handle claims involving:
Defective Design
Some products are inherently dangerous due to flaws in their design. These defects exist before the product is manufactured, making every unit potentially hazardous. We work with expert engineers and designers to demonstrate how a product’s design made it unreasonably dangerous for consumers.
Even if there is a product recall, manufacturers may still be liable for your injuries. We can discover if this is the case for you.
Defective Manufacturing
Even when a product is designed safely, errors in the manufacturing process can make it dangerous. These defects typically affect a limited number of units rather than the entire product line. We’ll work to uncover where the manufacturing process went wrong and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Failure to Warn
Manufacturers have a duty to warn consumers about potential dangers associated with their products, even when those products are properly designed and manufactured. This includes providing clear instructions for proper use and warnings about potential hazards.
If a company fails to provide adequate warnings or instructions, it can be held liable for resulting injuries.

Proving Negligence in Product Liability Cases
North Carolina is one of the few states that does not recognize strict liability in product liability cases. Injured consumers cannot simply prove that a product was defective and caused harm. Instead, they must demonstrate that the manufacturer or seller was negligent in some way.
This lack of strict liability puts a higher burden of proof on you to win, so you’ll need to work with experienced product liability lawyers who understand the nuances of North Carolina law. To succeed in a product liability case in North Carolina, our attorneys must prove the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of Care: The manufacturer or seller had a duty to provide a safe product to consumers.
- Breach of Duty: They failed to meet this duty by creating or selling a defective product.
- Causation: The defective product directly caused your injuries.
- Damages: You suffered actual losses or injuries as a result.
