Date: 07-18-2023
Case Number: 0:20-cv-02287
Judge: Jerry W. Blackwell
Court: United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (Hennepin County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: Stephen Gabrielson
Defendant's Attorney: Craig A. Livingston
Description:
Minneapolis, Minnesota personal injury lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on a product liability theory.
This case was filed in the Swift County District Court, 76-CV-20-00443 and was removed to federal court by the Defendant.
Minnesota product liability law is a complex area of law that can be difficult to understand. Here is a brief overview of the law:
Weatherby is a firearms manufacturer.
Product liability: Product liability is a legal theory that allows consumers to sue manufacturers, sellers, and distributors of defective products for damages caused by the defect.
Defective product: A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
Unreasonably dangerous: A product is unreasonably dangerous if it is more dangerous than a reasonable person would expect.
Damages: Consumers who are injured by defective products can recover damages for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
There are three main theories of product liability in Minnesota:
Strict liability: Under strict liability, the manufacturer or seller of a defective product is liable for damages caused by the defect, even if the manufacturer or seller was not negligent.
Negligence: Under negligence, the manufacturer or seller of a defective product is liable for damages caused by the defect if the manufacturer or seller did not exercise reasonable care in designing, manufacturing, or selling the product.
Warranty: Under warranty law, the manufacturer or seller of a defective product is liable for damages caused by the defect if the product did not meet the promises made by the manufacturer or seller.
The statute of limitations for product liability claims in Minnesota is four years. This means that you must file your claim within four years of the date you were injured by the defective product.
If you have been injured by a defective product, you should consult with an attorney to discuss your legal options. An attorney can help you determine whether you have a claim and can represent you in court if you decide to file a lawsuit.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind about Minnesota product liability law:
The manufacturer or seller of a defective product is not liable for damages if the defect was caused by the consumer's own negligence.
The manufacturer or seller of a defective product is not liable for damages if the consumer knew about the defect and voluntarily assumed the risk of using the product.
The manufacturer or seller of a defective product may be able to reduce or eliminate their liability by proving that they took reasonable steps to prevent the defect from occurring.
This case was filed in the Swift County District Court, 76-CV-20-00443 and was removed to federal court by the Defendant.
