    Is This Your Situation?

    This page is for consumers and workers injured by a defective vehicle part, appliance, tool, or other consumer or industrial product in Georgia.

    Overview

    Georgia's strict product liability law means a manufacturer can be responsible for an unreasonably dangerous, defective product even without proof of carelessness. We evaluate design defects, manufacturing errors, and failure-to-warn claims to find every available path to compensation.

    Liability Considerations

    Georgia's product liability statute (O.C.G.A. ยง 51-1-11) allows a manufacturer to be held strictly liable for a defective, unreasonably dangerous product, without necessarily proving carelessness. A statute of repose generally limits claims to within 10 years of the product's first sale, in addition to the standard injury deadline.

    • Experience with strict liability, negligence, and warranty claims
    • Free consultation, no fee unless we win
    • Direct attorney access โ€” not a call center
    • Access to engineering and safety experts when needed

    Protect Your Case

    What to Do Now

    1. Seek medical attention for your injuries
    2. Preserve the product and all packaging โ€” do not discard or return it
    3. Photograph the product defect and your injuries
    4. Keep your receipt and any warranty information
    5. Call us before speaking with the manufacturer

    Deadlines and Legal Framework

    Under Georgia's product liability statute (O.C.G.A. ยง 51-1-11), a manufacturer can be held strictly liable when a product was not merchantable and reasonably suited for its intended use, and was in essentially the same condition as when it left the manufacturer.

    Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Case

    We see these missteps regularly in Colbert product liability cases. Avoiding them protects your claim.

    1. Returning or discarding the product before it's documented
    2. Waiting to seek medical care
    3. Assuming a warning label eliminates your claim
    4. Missing applicable filing deadlines

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent?

    +

    Not always. Georgia's strict liability law can hold a manufacturer responsible for a defective, unreasonably dangerous product regardless of how careful they were in making it.

    What if I was using the product in an unusual way?

    +

    Foreseeable misuse is sometimes still covered, though comparative fault may reduce your recovery depending on the facts.

    What if the product was recalled after my injury?

    +

    A later recall can support your claim by helping show the product was defective, though it doesn't automatically prove your individual case.
