How can a product be defective?

Generally speaking, products can be defective in three ways: 1. they can have a defective design; 2. they can have a manufacturing defect; and 3. they can be defective because they lack proper instructions and/or warning labels. For example, an SUV that rolls over easily, leading to roof crush injuries, has a poor design. A pharmaceutical medication that becomes contaminated during production has a manufacturing defect. And a children’s toy with small parts that do not have a choking hazard label has a labeling defect. All three types of defects can lead to serious injuries or even deaths.

Will I have to prove that a product manufacturer was negligent in order to recover compensation?

No; in most cases, manufacturers and other entities involved in the creation, production, and distribution of consumer goods are liable for any injuries, harm, illnesses, or deaths their products cause—regardless of negligence. This is known as strict liability. To seek compensation after being harmed by a defective product, you will merely need to prove that the product was, in fact, defective and that, as a result of the defect, you suffered injuries that led to specific damages.

What kinds of compensation can I recover in a product liability claim?

Every case is different and, therefore, it is not possible to say exactly what types of compensation you may be entitled to receive. However, in most product liability cases, victims are able to seek compensation for their medical expenses related to the accident, lost income/wages from time taken off work to receive treatment, lost future earnings if they are unable to return to work (temporarily or permanently), pain and suffering, property damage, and more. The attorneys at our firm will be able to provide you with a clearer understanding of your rights after a free consultation.
