heeding presumption

Read a random definition: writ of prevention

A quick definition of heeding presumption:

A heeding presumption is when a court assumes that someone would have followed a warning label if it had been provided. This can be used in cases where someone was injured by a product and claims that the manufacturer did not provide adequate warning. The presumption can be overcome if the manufacturer can provide evidence that the injured person would not have followed the warning even if it had been provided.

A more thorough explanation:

The heeding presumption is a legal inference or assumption that a product user would have followed a warning label had the product manufacturer provided one. It is a rebuttable presumption, meaning that the opposing party can attempt to overcome it with other evidence.

For example, if a person is injured while using a product that did not have a warning label, they may argue that the manufacturer should have provided one. The heeding presumption would assume that the injured person would have followed the warning label if it had been provided, and therefore the injury could have been prevented. However, the manufacturer could try to overcome this presumption by presenting evidence that the injured person had a history of not following warning labels.

The heeding presumption is often used in products liability cases, where a manufacturer may be held responsible for injuries caused by their product. By assuming that a warning label would have been followed, the burden of proof shifts to the manufacturer to prove otherwise.
