In such a case, the attorney must consider potential <a href=\"http:\/\/www.georgiainjurylawyerblog.com\/products_liability\/\">product liability claims<\/a>, such as defective design, manufacture, assembly, testing or failure to warn or misrepresentation.  The Supreme Court of Georgia has outlined the test for whether a product is defective in terms of risk-utility analysis.  There are three (3) principal basis of recovery in product liability actions: Negligence; Breach of Warranty; and Strict Liability.<br \/>\nLike any other claim, actions for damages based on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.georgiainjurylawyerblog.com\/products_liability\/\">product liability <\/a>are governed by statutes of limitations.  For personal injury actions based on negligence or strict liability related to product liability, a two year statute of limitations applies.  However, there is an additional limitation that an attorney representing an employee injured by a product of any kind must consider as soon as he is retained.  This is the statute of repose and it functions in addition to the statute of limitations.  This statute of repose is a complete band to strict liability and negligence actions filed more than ten (10) years after the date of the first sale or use or consumption of the products, regardless of when the injury occurred.  Thus, an injured employee\u2019s time to file a case could be much less than two years.  The statute of repose does not apply to claims based on failure of the manufacturer to warn of product related damage.<br \/>\nIf you or a loved one has been seriously injured on-the-job, call the Georgia workers compensation lawyers at Finch McCranie, LLP for a free consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia injury lawyers, handling a claim for a catastrophically injured employee or the family of a deceased employee, our investigation will often reveal that the employee received injuries while working on or around a piece of machinery that caused the death, some traumatic amputation or other trauma to the employee.
