Produktbeschreibung
- Retention of the majority of main cases from the first edition, with revisions to the ensuing notes incorporating relevant case law developments
- A reorganized and updated chapter covering the controversy over the relative merits of the consumer expectations and risk-utility tests
- Comprehensive discussion of the tort version of the implied warranty—the genesis of the consumer expectations test—and its relation to product malfunctions and the risk-utility test
- A new chapter addressing the existence of the tort duty and identifying the difference between patent dangers and patent defects
- Reorganization of the chapter on factual causation, emphasizing the continuity of evidentiary problems running across different types of cases, ranging from the heeding presumption in warning cases, to market-share liability, to proof of both general and specific causation in toxic-tort cases
Professors and students will benefit from: - Classroom-tested materials taught for over 20 years by an award-winning professor
- Interesting cases that illustrate both the traditional and contemporary character of products liability litigation; cases are followed by extensive notes
- Each chapter addressing doctrinal issues concludes with problems on autonomous vehicles. The full set of 29 problems provides students with the necessary background for understanding liability issues posed by this emerging technology. Each problem is followed by the author’s analysis of the associated issues, cross-referenced to the relevant casebook material.
