What if a defective product caused my workplace injury in Georgia?

If a defective machine, tool, safety device, or vehicle caused or contributed to your injury, you may have a products liability claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or seller under O.C.G.A. § 51-1-11. Georgia follows strict liability for product defects, meaning you do not have to prove the manufacturer was careless — only that the product was defective and caused your injury. Products liability claims can involve enormous damages, particularly in catastrophic injury cases.
