What types of evidence are needed to prove a product defect?

To prove a product defect in Oklahoma, certain evidence is required. First, evidence of the product must be provided, including the product itself, documents related to the product’s design, materials, manufacturing process, warnings, or instructions for use. Second, evidence of the defect must be provided, including photographs, videos, test results, expert opinions, or evidence of similar products or similar incidents. Third, evidence of injury must be provided, including medical records, photographs, or other records of the injury. Finally, evidence of the product’s role in causing the injury must be provided, such as reports from experts or testimony from witnesses. Together, this evidence allows the court to determine whether a product defect exists and, if so, whether the defect was a cause of the injury. This information can then be used to determine if the manufacturer, distributor, or other party is liable for damages to the injured party. By proving a product defect, an injured party can hold the responsible party accountable and obtain compensation for their damages.
