New Post: Defective Product: How Can You Get Compensation? - A defective product can cause severe injuries to consumers. Any Atlanta product liability attorney at our law firm can attest to the fact that even a small item, such as a mobile phone, can hurt people so badly that they need medical attention and are left in pain. However, for the injured party it is not always clear who is responsible to pay compensation for their medical bills and other economic damages. Moreover, in some instances, such as car accidents or injuries sustained in hospital, they are unable to determine that a defective product was the ultimate cause of their injuries. This is why you need to consult with a personal injury attorney in Atlanta as soon as possible after any accident which may be caused by someone else’s negligence. Legal Definition of Defective Products for Personal Injury Purposes The first thing that an Atlanta product liability attorney will want to establish is the type of defect that caused your injury. The legal principles applicable to tort law in Georgia recognize three meanings of the term “defective”: Design defect – this type of defect occurs before a product is made and sent for sale. Its blueprint for manufacturing contains an error which may lead to malfunction Manufacturing defect – during the manufacturing process of a specific item (or a batch of item) there is an error, making the product (or products) defective Failure to warn – this typ...

FAQs

Do I have to live in the state to get a divorce in Georgia?

Georgia law requires that at least one of the spouses be a resident of the state for at least six months before filing for a divorce. If you reside in another state, you can file in Georgia if your spouse has lived here for at least six months. In most cases, you file in the county where your spouse lives.

Can a judge award alimony in a divorce case?

Yes. Georgia law gives courts wide discretion in awarding alimony, either during the proceeding or as part of the final divorce decree. Either party may ask the court to award alimony. In making a decision on alimony, the judge takes a wide range of factors into account. The potential for alimony is one of the important reasons that legal representation in a divorce is crucial.

How do Georgia courts decide child custody issues?

In Georgia, judges decide child custody and visitation issues based on what is in the best interests of the child. In some divorce cases, custody is one of the most difficult issues to resolve. If your divorce involves issues relating to custody and visitation, legal representation is essential.

What happens if the other person does not abide by a court order?

If one of the parties fails or refuses to abide by a divorce decree, custody order, or support order, the other party can petition the court to enforce the order. Attempting to resolve violations privately, such as by withholding visitation for support payments or similar tactics, is not permitted under Georgia law. Agreements between the parties to modify the terms of an order are also not enforceable, unless the court modifies the order to include them.

Can I make changes to a custody or support order?

If circumstances change substantially after the court enters a child custody or support order, you have to petition the court to modify the original order. An agreement between the parties to change the terms of custody or support is insufficient and not legally enforceable.

You can find more answers to some of our most commonly asked questions on the FAQ page of our website.
