Wyoming Laws and Regulations for Product Liability Claims

The circumstances of each product injury case are unique, and your injury may involve just one type of defect or more. Laws and regulations differ depending on the state where the case occurred and the state-specific laws concerning product liability. Strict product liability claims don’t focus on the wrongdoing, but the dangers associated with the product. A company or individual is held responsible for damages or injuries without proof of the mistake or negligence.

Product liability cases may be brought against any part of the manufacturing chain, including the manufacturer of the parts, the manufacturer who assembled the parts, the wholesaler and the owner of the retail outlet that sold the merchandise. Negligence cases occur when an individual or company’s carelessness results in a defective product.

The Wyoming state legislature has enacted laws to limit the amount of time that a product liability case can be filed. Failing to follow the Wyoming statute of limitations by attempting to file a lawsuit or claim after the statute expires could strip away the rights of the victim to pursue compensation in the future.

Olson Personal Injury Lawyers can answer your specific questions about the laws surrounding product liability in Wyoming.

• Manufacturer Defects – A manufacturer defect occurs when a product is designed properly but the manufacturer fails to follow the intended design. Manufacturing defects usually exist in one or few items, rather than every product. For example, a contaminated batch of medicine.
• Warning Label Defects – A warning label defect occurs when the manufacturer, supplier, or vendor neglects its responsibility in placing proper labels on products. A warning label defect also can occur if the label has improper wording or wording is misleading. For example, chemicals sold without proper handling instructions.
