Topic > Liability in the Business Legal Environment

Under what product liability theory or theories can Kolchek sue to recover for Litisha's injuries? Could Kolchek sue Porter or Great Lakes? In the event that Kolchek sues to recover Litisha's injuries, she can insure herself under malpractice liability. Every product should be fully tested in every way possible to see if it works properly and can cause harm to people. There shouldn't have been anything that wasn't covered. As stated in our book The Legal Environment of Business, “if a manufacturer fails to exercise “due care” to make a product safe, a person who is harmed by the product can sue the manufacturer for negligence.” Kolchek could sue the production. In this case it is the Great Lakes spa. Porter was simply a company selling the product. Great Lakes SpA should have taken the initiative to carefully examine its products before putting them on the market for private purchase. As our book The Legal Environment of Business states: “A manufacturer, seller or inferior producer is liable for failure to exercise due diligence to any person who suffers damage caused by a negligently made (defective) product ". be required for Kolchek to succeed in a product liability action against Great Lakes? As stated in our book The Legal Environment of Business, “any person injured by a product can bring a negligence lawsuit even if that person was not the one who actually purchased the product.” So no, contractual priority would not be necessary for Kolchek to be able to succeed in a product liability action against Great Lakes because the buyer does not need to be directly involved in the manufacturing, as long as the product was made by the manufacturer itself... half of the document... accused of selling to a police officer while on duty. The employee had no idea that the police officer was still on duty because he had removed his armband. The author stated that the crime of strict liability is not intentional. Which is true, how can anyone be held accountable for other people's actions if they have no idea what is going on? People are not mind readers and should be held accountable for their own actions.
