In Tucson and throughout Arizona, there are three types of motorcycle product liability cases: flawed design cases, manufacturing defect cases, and “failure to warn” cases.

Flawed Design Cases
Flaws in the design happen in the conceptual and engineering phases of motorcycle production. For example, a design for a new muffler may not have been tested carefully enough and, as a result, a muffler defect that went undetected could result in a serious injury to a motorcycle rider.

Manufacturing Defect Cases
A product defect, on the other hand, may come from a problem in the machining and/or manufacturing process. A well-designed combustion engine, for instance, may not be put together correctly during manufacturing. This part may then be unable to perform up to par under certain road conditions, or the wrong conditions, which may lead to an injury for a rider.

“Failure to Warn” Cases
The last kind of motorcycle product liability case is a failure to warn case. In such instances, the responsible party failed to guard or warn against hazards, leading to damage or injuries to a motorcycle rider.

If a defective motorcycle part, such as a helmet, muffler, handlebar, brake system, tire, or engine, hurt you or caused damage to your property, you may be able to hold the manufacturer of the product liable.
