Why Do You Need a Defective Product Attorney in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania adopted strict products liability under Restatement (Second) § 402A in Webb v. Zern (1966). After significant doctrinal evolution, Tincher v. Omega Flex (2014) restored § 402A as Pennsylvania’s strict-liability standard, allowing plaintiffs to choose between consumer-expectation and risk-utility tests for design defects. Pennsylvania is a modified comparative fault state with a 51% bar under 42 Pa. C.S. § 7102. The 2-year statute of limitations runs under 42 Pa. C.S. § 5524. Pennsylvania has no general products statute of repose. Philadelphia Common Pleas (the Complex Litigation Center) and Allegheny County are among the country’s most active mass-tort venues — host to major pharma, medical device, and asbestos litigation.
