If you have been injured by a product with a manufacturing defect, you are entitled to deserve medical treatment and compensation for your injuries.
If you’ve been injured by a defective product, you may be entitled to recover damages aimed at restoring your quality of life. These damages can include medical expenses such as hospital bills, surgeries, medications, and ongoing care, as well as lost income if your injuries prevent you from working.
Compensation may also address pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment in activities you can no longer participate in. In cases where a defective product caused property damage or the death of a loved one, recoverable damages may cover repair costs, funeral expenses, and the loss of financial support or companionship.
Courts may also award punitive damages in instances of extreme negligence or misconduct by manufacturers. An experienced defective product attorney can evaluate your case and help you seek the full damages you deserve.
To prove negligence for a product liability case, we will need to look into the duty of care, the standard of care, and causation. Instances of negligence include failing to provide accurate warning labels, giving misleading professional advice, or failing to thoroughly test a product to determine its safety. Standard of care is defined as the amount of care a reasonable person would exercise in a given situation. By law, manufacturers are required to operate above that standard at all times during testing, manufacturing, and marketing.
Strict liability is the idea that even if someone didn’t behave improperly or negligently, that they are still held responsible for any damage caused. Strict liability is usually found in situations dealing with inherently dangerous factors, such as violent animals or crews that demolish buildings and blast rock. These are situations where the law has decided that even though no harm was intended, the owner or product maker is still at fault.
When you are injured by a defective product, dealing with insurance companies is a crucial part of the recovery process. Both manufacturers and their insurers often have substantial resources and legal teams ready to defend against claims. It’s essential to understand that while the insurance company may seem helpful at first, their primary goal is to minimize payouts.
In defective product cases, insurance companies representing manufacturers, retailers, or distributors may attempt to limit compensation by disputing fault or downplaying the extent of your injuries. This is why it’s vital to have an experienced defective product attorney by your side who can navigate these challenges.
