Products liability law is often confusing because it is in a state of constant flux as it confronts a number of challenges. Some such challenges are well known, such as the battle over the comparative merits of the Second and Third Restatements of Torts. Other, equally important challenges have, however, been overlooked by other texts, such as the growing use of bankruptcy protection laws to limit the consequences of supplying defective products (as in the recent bailout-supported cases of General Motors and Chrysler), and this book sets out to rectify such omissions. While other books leave the reader to sink or swim in a swamp of apparently contradictory doctrine, Products Liability Law: Cases, Commentary, and Conundra lays out from the beginning the five elements common to all products liability claims. It then builds on this foundation by tackling each new area of the law in a lucid and reader-friendly manner, while explaining how each doctrine relates to the politico-economic and historical context in which the law operates. Supplementing the text with numerous original flowcharts, tables, and other diagrams--as well as asking thoughtful questions along the way--this book charts a careful and comprehensible course through the often tempestuous battleground of products liability law.

Product Liability Desk Reference: A Fifty-State Compendium, 2023 Edition, is a comprehensive resource that provides the most recent statutory and case law developments on product liability laws for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. Each state summary is practitioner-oriented and written by leading state experts who provide analysis of the statutory and case law developments particular to each jurisdiction. Each chapter includes detailed coverage of a state's standards regarding causes of action, statutes of limitation and repose, strict liability, negligence, breach of warranty, punitive damages, wrongful death, pre- and post-judgment interest, employer immunity from suit, joint and several liability, and statutes relevant to product liability actions. The book is designed to serve as a handy reference for corporate in-house counsel or the litigation management professional who is overseeing product liability cases in more than one state; the attorney handling product liability cases in more than one state; and the in-house professional at the liability, casualty, or property insurance company concerned with claims and litigation management. The 2023 Edition incorporates recent changes in the common law of the various states, including the following: Illinois has passed the Prejudgment Interest Act which now allows prejudgment interest in tort cases. This interest is calculated at the rate of 6% per annum on the amount of the judgment, minus punitive damages, sanctions, statutory attorney's fees, and statutory costs and subject to reduction based on rejected settlement offers. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) refusal to set formal standards for certain driver assist technologies did not preempt Arizona common law tort claims against the manufacturer for not implementing those features into its vehicles. Allowing a case against TikTok sounding in design defect to proceed, the Georgia Supreme Court held that intentional or tortious misuse of a product does not relieve the manufacturer of its design duty to the injured party.
