Neue europäische Produkthaftung

This compilation examines the new EU Product Liability Directive and its impact on European legal systems. The study of the effects in Germany, Austria, France, Spain and Switzerland is accompanied by practical analyses in the areas of medical devices, automated driving and insurance. The focus is on the question of how the new directive will change product liability for innovative technologies: Will it merely update the liability rules, or will product liability be fundamentally expanded through new functionalities (upgrade)?
