Who can I hold liable if I am injured by a defective product?

In Oklahoma, any person or company who manufactures, distributes, or sells a product that causes harm to another person is liable for damages via Dangerous Products Law. This includes manufacturers who produce products, retailers who sell them, and distributors who transport products throughout the supply chain. If a product shows signs of being defective or is not safely designed or manufactured, those involved in the product’s path to the consumer can be held liable for damages. If you are injured because of a defective product, you may be able to seek compensation from any or all of the parties involved. This could include the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. To pursue legal action, you must be able to demonstrate that the product was defective or that it was not properly labeled, and that the defect caused the injury. Proving the defect and causation can be complicated and require the assistance of an experienced attorney. Although product liability is a complex area of law and requires specialized knowledge, understanding your rights following an injury is important. If you believe you or a loved one has been injured due to a defective product, contact an attorney immediately. They can help you understand your rights and potential options to seek compensation for any damages.
