When a consumer purchases the product and the quality is substantially less than what the manufacturer or seller warranted, a breach of express warranty applies. This is civilly actionable, allowing the consumer to pursue damages.  The Uniform Commercial Code backs the consumer regarding merchantability and warranty of fitness. If products fail to conform to UCC standards, and those products were warranted to perform otherwise, consumers who are injured can pursue an action under the UCC.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question3","text":"Products with Design Defects; Products with Manufacturing Defects; Products with Insufficient Warnings","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Answer3"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question4","text":"Injured consumers should be aware of several statutes of limitations that establish a deadline for filing a claim for compensation. With all personal injury claims, including those stemming from product liability, the statute of limitations is two years. If there\u2019s damage to personal property, the statute of limitations for filing a claim is four years. Georgia\u2019s rule of discovery dictates those statutes run from the time your injury happens and the time you realized or reasonably should have realized the product in question caused the injury. Georgia\u2019s statute of repose, which prohibits action from being taken against a manufacturer after a predetermined period, is 10 years and begins when the manufacturer releases the product on the market. Any injuries the product causes must be litigated or discovered before the 10-year time frame, or the court will refuse to hear the case.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Answer4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What Do You Have to Prove in a Defective Product Claim?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Answer1"},"name":"What is Tortious Misrepresentation?","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the Relationship Between Warranties and Product Liability Law?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Question2"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What Are Some Examples of Defective Product Claims?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Answer3"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Question3"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the Statute of Limitations on Product Defect Cases?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Answer4"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#Question4"}],"name":"Douglasville Product Injury Lawyer ","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Defective Products","item":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
