Frequently Asked Questions: Product Liability in Alberta
Your Top Product Liability Questions Answered by Our Product Liability Lawyers in Calgary
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.
Who can be held liable in a product liability case in Alberta?
In Alberta, multiple parties may be held liable for a defective product, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and in some cases component suppliers. Under the Sale of Goods Act (RSA 2000, c S-2), parties in the supply chain may be pursued where evidence shows they contributed to a defect or failed to meet applicable safety obligations. Our defective product lawyers review the supply chain and available evidence to help identify potentially responsible parties.
What evidence is needed to prove a product liability claim in Alberta?
To prove a product liability claim in Alberta, you need evidence such as the defective product itself, medical records linking the injury to the alleged defect, expert opinions regarding the nature of the defect, and documentation showing the product’s purchase and use. Our product liability lawyers at Yanko Popovic Sidhu assist with gathering and reviewing evidence and ensure materials are prepared in accordance with Alberta’s Rules of Court (AR 124/2010) for admissibility.
How much does it cost to hire a product liability lawyer in Calgary?
At Yanko Popovic Sidhu, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront legal fees. Our product liability lawyers are paid only if compensation is recovered, typically as a percentage of any settlement or award. Disbursements and applicable taxes may apply. This structure is intended to improve access to legal representation while complying with Alberta’s legal fee rules.
What is the average settlement for a product liability case in Alberta?
Settlements for product liability cases in Alberta vary widely, ranging from lower compensation amounts for minor injuries to higher awards in serious injury or wrongful death cases. Outcomes depend on factors such as injury severity, the nature of the alleged defect, and liability evidence. Past cases handled by our lawyers have involved a wide range of compensation outcomes, depending on the specific facts and applicable legal principles.
How long does a product liability case take to resolve in Alberta?
The timeline for resolving a product liability case in Alberta can range from several months to a few years, depending on factors such as complexity, expert evidence, negotiations, and court schedules. Some cases resolve through settlement, while others proceed to litigation. Alberta’s Limitations Act generally provides a two-year period to commence a claim, making early legal advice important.
