What Is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers and sellers to ensure their products are safe for consumers. Under Indiana Code § 34-20-1, a product is considered defective if it is unreasonably dangerous. Indiana law allows injured parties to seek compensation if they can prove that the product was defective and that this defect directly caused their injury.
Types of Product Defects
Defective products can fall into several categories:
Inherent flaws in the product’s design that make it unsafe, even if manufactured correctly.
Example: a car with a high rollover risk.
Errors during the production process that result in unsafe products.
Example: contaminated food products.
Insufficient instructions or failure to warn about potential risks.
Example: medications without adequate side effect warnings.
You may not have a case if you were harmed by using a product incorrectly or if you failed to follow the instructions. It’s important to consult with a Bloomington defective product attorney to learn whether your case constitutes product liability.
Common Injuries Caused by Product Defects
Defective products can cause a wide range of injuries, including:
- Serious burns from faulty electronics
- Lacerations from sharp edges on poorly designed tools
- Broken bones from defective ladders or scaffolding
- Illness from contaminated food or pharmaceuticals
These injuries can have serious, long-lasting effects on your health and well-being. Indiana law allows you to seek compensation for both physical and emotional damages caused by such injuries. If you think you have a case, schedule a free case review with us – we can be your lawyer over the phone.

Who Is Liable?
In Indiana, multiple parties can be held liable for a defective product, including:
Responsible for the design and production of the product.
Sellers of the product, even if they did not produce it.
Entities involved in the distribution chain.
Determining liability often involves tracing the defect back to its source and proving that the responsible party failed to ensure the product’s safety. This is where an attorney can really help. They know how to identify important evidence and make a compelling argument on your behalf.
When to Pursue a Lawsuit
In Indiana, product liability lawsuits are subject to a statute of limitations. According to Indiana Code § 34-20-3, you typically have 2 years from the date of the injury to pursue a lawsuit. However, certain exceptions may extend or shorten this period, so it’s essential to consult with a defective product lawyer in Bloomington quickly to preserve your rights.
