What Is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers and sellers to ensure their products are safe for consumers. Under Indiana Code § 34-20-1, a product is considered defective if it is unreasonably dangerous. Indiana law allows injured parties to seek compensation if they can prove that the product was defective and that this defect directly caused their injury.

Defective products can fall into several categories:
