Types of Product Liability Claims
Individuals can file a product liability claim anytime they have been damaged by a product due to a design defect, manufacturing defect, or a failure to warn for potential injury. In the United States of America, companies, brands, and manufacturers must always test their products before they go on the market. They bear the burden of responsibility of ensuring everything they sell works properly and attach any and all necessary product safety warnings when marketing their products. Common product liability claims include but are not limited to:
- Vehicle tires
- Cleaning products
- Hygiene products
- Tools
- Smartphones, tablets, and other miscellaneous electronics
- Pharmaceutical products
- Vaporizers and electronic cigarettes
If you’re wondering who is liable for your unsafe product, it is important to remember that every case is different. Because of this, the at-fault party will vary depending on the circumstances of each unique situation. In certain instances, the company or party responsible for designing the product will be liable for damages. In other cases, individuals may receive compensation directly from the manufacturer. And in some situations, there may be multiple at-fault parties who must bear the responsibility for the harm dealt by a defective product.
Causes of Product Liability Injuries
Defective products can be caused by an error in design. Companies and product designers must create their products in a way that ensures safety for the user. Because of this, you may be able to file a lawsuit if you have a product that has been made unreasonably dangerous as a result of a faulty design. For example, if you purchase a medicine bottle that claims to be “childproof” and your babies and children are able to open it and consume its contents, you may be eligible for compensation.
Product liability injuries can also come as a result of insufficient instructions or warnings. There are certain products that are simply inherently dangerous, but these types of goods must carry sufficient warning. If a consumer is harmed by a product that did not contain proper instructions or cautions, they may be able to successfully file a product liability claim and receive substantial financial compensation for their damages and troubles.
Financial Compensation for Defective Products
Individuals who have suffered from a defective product injury typically find themselves wondering how they are going to deal with their medical expenses, ongoing medical treatment, lost wages, emotional damages, and other types of losses they’ve experienced as a direct result of their defective products. If you have been hurt by this, you will do yourself a huge favor by educating yourself on the types of compensation you may be entitled to.
Physical injury can take place if you have been unfortunate enough to use a defective product. Burn injuries can be extremely severe, and brain injuries can be life-threatening. Unfortunately, second-degree burns and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are two potential outcomes of product liability injury. On top of this, defective products can also cause broken bones and food poisoning. If you have experienced any of these illnesses and you were in need of medical attention, filing a product liability lawsuit may be the step that brings you closer towards financial compensation.
In addition to this, there are many emotional damages and traumas that can come along with using a defective product. Individuals who mentally and emotionally suffer after being exposed to a defective product need to be aware of the fact that though their damages are not tangible, they are most certainly valid. You may be able to be compensated for your emotional anguish, alongside any ongoing psychological or psychiatric treatment you may need.
