While the majority of the products you use may work safely and properly, there are times when manufacturing defects in products can cause widespread damages to your property and can potentially injure you or someone in your family. Many consumer products undergo rigorous testing from the manufacturers to ensure a safe product, but there are cases when even the most reputable manufacturer overlooks the safety protocols for any given product, which can make them liable in the case of any serious injuries or property damages you may incur due to a defective product.
In product liability cases, if the manufacturer is found guilty for the damages you obtained, you may be entitled to a great deal of compensation. To maximize your chances of winning your product liability case, it may be wise to contact a product liability attorney to see what your best course of action may be. Depending on the severity of your product liability claims, whether it be a personal injury or the damage of property, and the evidence you have of a defective product, your product liability claims may net you compensation to pay medical bills or to cover the costs of repairing any property damage that occurred due to the defective product.
What Products Can I Claim Are Defective?
For some, hearing about a defective product might trigger thoughts of everyday, household products or consumer electronics. Due to the potentially hazardous parts inside consumer electronics, a lot of high profile product liability suits come from consumer electronics due to defects of the parts inside or a design flaw. However, consumer electronics are not the only product that you can claim as defective products. Basically, any product you use has the potential to be covered by product liability.
From toys that children play with to medicine with unforeseen side effects, if it does not work as intended and causes you personal injury or damages your property, you may be entitled to seek compensation for any defective products you encounter. A product liability lawyer may know the ins and outs of product liability claims. By contacting a product liability lawyer and getting a case evaluation, you may increase your chances of having your misfortunes paid for.
Can a Car Be Claimed as a Defective Product?
Accidents happen on the road, and in large part, it may be due to human error. However, there are instances when accidents occur on the road due to defective parts in an automobile. It is possible these parts were overlooked and not tested properly by the manufacturer. In fact, there have been several widespread automobile recalls over the years from different car manufacturing companies due to defective parts in a car that have the potential to cause significant injury or even death.
Unfortunately for some, these recalls were not initiated prior to their potentially life-changing accidents. If you were injured in an automobile accident and you believe your car had a defect, including an airbag that did not engage properly, you may be entitled to compensation from the liable manufacturer. Lawyers from a product liability law firm can make a difference in your case and help you win the means to aid your recovery from any injuries you may have received.
How Do I Prove My Product Had a Defect?
One of the trickiest parts of a product liability claim may be proving your product had a defect. The reason for this is because many manufacturing companies can claim you may have used your product incorrectly which may have caused your injury or damages to property. However, if you believe your product had a manufacturing defect and have the ability to prove it, it may be difficult for a manufacturing company to claim you were mishandling their product. Other defects, like design defects, can make manufacturers liable for the pain you have been caused. Getting a case evaluation from a product liability law firm can be a great first step to making things right for you and your family.
