Product Liability Overview

Have you been injured by a defective product? You may be able to file a product liability lawsuit to recover the losses you sustained as a result of this event.

Product Liability Claims

You may have a successful product liability claim if you were injured due to a defective product and there is sufficient evidence to prove a manufacturing defect, design defect, or inadequate warnings or labeling. In claims involving a manufacturing defect, a mistake made during the manufacturing process is the reason for the defective product. A design defect means that the design is unsafe and is the reason for the defective product. In claims involving mislabeling or inaccurate instructions, the inadequate warnings or labeling are the reason for the defective product.

Compensation for Injuries

In a successful product liability lawsuit you can be awarded medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Because product liability laws include many types of consumer products, including toys, automobiles, drugs, and more, the injuries sustained from a defective product are also extremely varied. Your lawyer will help determine what compensation you may be eligible to receive based on the circumstances of your case.
