⚖️ Liability & Fault in Stockbridge
Georgia’s product liability statute (O.C.G.A. § 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.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Do 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.
2What 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.
3What 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.
⚖️ Legal Information
Georgia law also imposes a statute of repose for product liability claims, generally barring claims more than 10 years after the product’s first sale (O.C.G.A. § 51-1-11), in addition to the standard injury statute of limitations — timing matters, so it’s important to act promptly.
