Description

Understanding Products Liability Law 2nd Edition Bruce L. Ottley ISBN 9780769863757

This concise yet comprehensive Understanding treatise is designed to complement any products liability casebook.

Part I provides an overview of the complex body of products liability caselaw and statutes that have developed over the past century. Following a functional approach, the chapters begin with the four foundational theories underlying all products liability cases: warranty, misrepresentation, negligence, and strict liability. Subsequent chapters examine the principal types of product defects—design, manufacturing, and failure to warn—and explore the challenges involved in proving that a product was defective and that the defect caused the plaintiff’s injury. The section concludes with chapters on the various defenses available in a products liability action and the types of damages a plaintiff may pursue.

Part II focuses on practical aspects of prosecuting or defending a products liability case. Topics include case research, drafting complaints, preparing interrogatories and requests to admit facts, document production requests, depositions for discovery and evidence, protective orders, and discovery enforcement.

This treatise provides students and practitioners with both a thorough understanding of products liability law and practical guidance on navigating the procedural and evidentiary issues that arise in real-world cases.
