Product liability claims under Oregon law

Lawsuits for injuries suffered when a product turns out to be defective are authorized under state law. In Oregon, a lawyer for an injured consumer can file a civil lawsuit against any or all of the following people or entities connected with a defective product:
  • Manufacturer
  • Distributor
  • Seller
  • Lessor
The law allows a person injured by a product to recover damages if the injuries were the result of any one of the following circumstances:
  • A manufacturing, testing, design, inspection or other type of defect
  • Failure to warn of a product’s dangers
  • Failure to provide adequate instructions for use
The initial challenge for a an attorney is to identify the nature of the defect. It takes hard work and legal knowhow to recognize when a properly designed and manufactured product, such as a lawnmower, might be the subject of a defective product claim because the instructions failed to adequately warn of the dangers associated with its use.
