Alabama Product Liability Attorney
Consumers have the right to expect that products placed into the marketplace are reasonably safe. When manufacturers, distributors, or retailers fail to meet that responsibility, defective or dangerous products can cause catastrophic injury.
Southern Med Law represents individuals and families across Alabama in serious product liability cases involving substantial harm. These cases often require technical investigation, expert analysis, and complex litigation against large corporations.
If a defective product caused serious injury, we are available to review your case.
What Is Product Liability?
Product liability law allows injured individuals to seek compensation when a defective product causes harm. In Alabama, these claims may arise under the Alabama Extended Manufacturer’s Liability Doctrine (AEMLD), as well as theories of negligence or breach of warranty.
Product liability cases generally fall into three categories:
-
Design defects – The product was inherently unsafe due to its design.
-
Manufacturing defects – An error occurred during production that made the product dangerous.
-
Failure to warn – The manufacturer failed to provide adequate instructions or warnings about known risks.
These cases require detailed analysis of engineering, safety standards, and industry practices.

Alabama Product Liability Law
Product liability claims in Alabama are governed in part by the Alabama Extended Manufacturer’s Liability Doctrine (AEMLD).
To succeed in a product liability case, a plaintiff generally must show:
-
The product was defective and unreasonably dangerous
-
The product reached the consumer substantially unchanged
-
The defect caused injury
Alabama law also imposes strict time limitations on filing claims. Prompt investigation is often critical, particularly when product evidence must be preserved.
