Utah Strict liability is a legal doctrine that holds a manufacturer responsible for any product-related injury regardless of the amount of care taken in creating the product. To establish a claim under Utah Strict Liability, the injured party must prove the following elements of a claim for a design or manufacturing defect: 1. The product was defective at the time it left the manufacturer. 2. The defect was the cause of the injury sustained by the plaintiff. 3. The plaintiff was using the product for its intended purpose. There are two types of Utah Strict Liability claims for design and manufacturing defects: 1. Design Defect — A product is considered to have a design defect when the design of the product is inherently unsafe. This means that even when the product is manufactured correctly, it is still unsafe for use. 2. Manufacturing Defect — A product is considered to have a manufacturing defect when the product was not manufactured according to the design specifications, which causes the product to be inherently unsafe. This means that even though the product is designed correctly, it is still unsafe for use due to errors in the manufacturing process. In both cases, the injured party must prove that the defect was the cause of the injury sustained. If the plaintiff is successful, the manufacturer may be held strictly liable for the damages caused by the product.
