Louisiana law is complex regarding claims of products liability. Under Louisiana law, a product manufacturer has a duty to ensure that its products are free from defects. The Louisiana Products Liability Act (LPLA) provides the state’s exclusive theories of liability against manufacturers for damage caused by their defective products. Under the Act, the manufacturer of a product is liable for damage proximately caused by a characteristic of the product that renders it unreasonably dangerous, provided that such damage arose from a reasonably anticipated use of the product by the claimant or another person or entity.
A product is unreasonably dangerous under the LPLA if and only if:
As you can see, Louisiana law surrounding products liability claims is convoluted.
This is one reason why you should consult with our lawyers or law firm if you believe you have been injured as a result of a defective product or unreasonably dangerous product.
In addition to liability cases stemming from defective products, products liability claims may also arise in instances where the manufacturer failed to properly warn the consumer of the dangers associated with its product. In such instances, the case may ultimately turn on the reasonableness of the manufacturer’s conduct as it relates to the warning notice given to consumers.
Of course, in cases involving these types of products liability claims, i.e., failure to warn cases, you must consult with a knowledgeable attorney or law firm who can apprise you of your legal rights and relevant state and federal laws.
