A: No it does not. Generally if the product is found to be defective by competent and reliable expert opinion that caused your injury, a product liability could be pursued. Be sure that the product itself must be retained and/or stored in the same condition it was in when it was last used that may have caused your injury. Preserving the integrity of the product for trial is usually the most important evidence in your potential case.
