American Law Of Products Liability 3d

Abraham's name appears first on the earlier edition.

This edition of Professor Owen's classic treatise refines and updates the first edition's acclaimed examination of products liability law and theory in action. Topics include introductory discussions of the nature and history of this field of law in America and abroad; detailed treatments of theories of liability, product defectiveness, causation, defenses, and proof; considerations of various special types of litigation; and punitive damages. Throughout, the treatise explores the underlying tensions and policies in this area of law and explains the impact of the Restatement of the Law of Torts, Third: Products Liability.

"A modern statement of the complete body of substantive law governing liability for product-caused injury, including exhaustive analysis of all existing case law from the earliest to the most recent decision."--T.p.
