Columbus, GA strict liability attorney

The concept of strict liability in tort is relatively new to US common law. During the early 1960s American courts started holding that, because sellers are in the best position to discern the risks associated with the products, such sellers should bear the costs of injuries due to the defect in their products. As a result, courts in most states presently allow recovery for injury caused by a defective product under the strict liability theory, without demonstrating fault or negligence on the part of the seller. Consult an experienced Columbus, GA strict liability attorney to know if you have a claim under strict liability theory. Anyone who sells a product in a defective condition unreasonably dangerous to the user is liable for physical injury thereby caused to the ultimate consumer, or to his property, if the seller is engaged in the business of selling the product; and the product is expected to and does reach the user without significant change. This will apply even though the seller has exercised all possible care in the preparation and sale of the product; and the user has not purchased the product from or entered into any contractual relation with the seller.
