Frequently Asked Questions: Product Liability In Alberta
What is product liability in Alberta?
Product liability in Alberta holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers accountable for injuries from defective products. Under the Sale of Goods Act (RSA 2000, c S-2), goods are required to be of acceptable quality and reasonably fit for their intended purpose. Our product liability lawyers at Yanko Popovic Sidhu assist clients in understanding their legal options when a defective product may have caused harm.
How long do I have to file a product liability claim in Alberta?
Alberta’s Limitations Act (RSA 2000, c L-12) generally provides two years from the date of injury or from when the defect was discovered to start a claim. Speaking with a defective product lawyer early can help ensure important deadlines are understood and addressed.
What compensation can I get for a product liability case in Alberta?
You may receive funds for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and other losses recognized under Alberta law. Compensation amounts vary depending on the facts of the case, and may range from modest amounts to higher awards in more serious cases. Our product liability lawyers at Yanko Popovic Sidhu assist clients in understanding and pursuing compensation options available under Alberta law.
What types of defects can lead to a product liability claim in Alberta?
In Alberta, product liability claims can arise from three main types of defects: manufacturing defects, design defects, and failure to warn (marketing defects). Manufacturing defects occur during production, design defects are inherent flaws in the product’s blueprint, and failure to warn involves inadequate safety instructions. Our product liability lawyers at Yanko Popovic Sidhu help assess these issues and advise clients on potential claims under applicable Alberta legislation and common law principles.
