Establishing Liability
To win a product liability case, we must establish that the product was defective and that the defect directly caused your injuries. The three primary types of defects we focus on include:
- Design Defects – These occur when a product is inherently dangerous based on its design, making it unsafe for consumer use.
- Manufacturing Defects – This type refers to errors made during the production process, resulting in a product that deviates from its intended design.
- Marketing Defects – These involve improper instructions or a lack of adequate warnings regarding potential dangers associated with using the product.
Our approach involves identifying the type of defect through thorough investigation, thus paving the way for building a compelling case against the responsible parties.
Seeking Compensation For Your Injuries
In a product liability case, compensation can cover a variety of damages, including:
- Medical Expenses: Reimbursement for your medical bills, including hospital stays, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment related to your injuries.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to time taken off work to recover from your injuries. If your injuries have long-term impacts on your ability to work, future wage loss may also be considered.
- Pain and Suffering: Financial compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress resulting from your injuries.
- Punitive Damages: In certain cases, if the manufacturer’s conduct was particularly reckless or intentional, you may be eligible for punitive damages intended to punish the offender and deter future misconduct.
