Understanding Product Liability Cases

Product liability cases arise when a defective product causes injuries due to negligence in its design, manufacturing, or labeling. Companies, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, have a legal duty to ensure that their products are safe. When they fail in this duty, they may be liable for the resulting injuries.

Common Types of Product Defects

Defective products can result from various issues, including:

• Design defects – Flaws in a product’s initial design make it inherently dangerous, even when manufactured correctly.
• Manufacturing defects – Errors occur during production, leading to unsafe products reaching consumers.
• Failure to warn – Inadequate safety instructions or missing warnings about potential dangers.

These defects can lead to serious injuries, including burns, fractures, head trauma, internal damage, or even wrongful death. If you have suffered injuries caused by a defective product, you may have legal grounds to pursue a claim.

Injuries and Damages in Defective Product Claims

Victims of defective products often experience physical, emotional, and financial hardships. The most common damages in product liability cases include:

• Medical expenses – Costs for emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
• Lost wages and lost income – Compensation for the time you were unable to work due to your injuries.
• Pain and suffering – Physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
• Wrongful death – If a defective product leads to the death of a loved one, the surviving family may pursue a claim.

If you are facing any of these challenges, our Hastings defective product lawyers can help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
