Product
Liability: If a product is
in an "unreasonably dangerous condition" when it is manufactured, distributed and/or sold and causes injury to someone because of the defect, the manufacturer, distributor and/or retail seller can be held strictly liable for damages.

defect which constitutes the "unreasonably dangerous and defective
condition" which imposes "strict liability" on the manufacturer, distributor and/or retail seller. The manufacturer and/or distributor can
and usually is also sued for negligent design or negligent
manufacturing.

or other health care provider or health care facility rendered medical or nursing
care "below the prevailing standard of care", he/she/it

civil rights violations, intentional interference with
contractual relationships, and bad faith insurance claims
