Product Liability
Product liability is an area of the law that assists people who have been injured by unsafe products, or the survivors of those who may have died as the result of an unsafe product. This area of personal injury law deals with injuries due to defective products. Corporations and manufacturers that produce or sell products have a responsibility to reasonably ensure that their products will not injure the persons using them.
The term "products" can include anything used by, or that comes in contact with a human being, from machinery, medicine, food, and household appliances to toys, tools, clothing, improperly designed consumer products, automobiles and pharmaceutical drugs.
If you have been injured by a defective product you may be entitled to monetary compensation for:
- lost wages.
- pain and suffering.
- mental anguish.
- medical expenses .
If someone has been injured while using a product, even if human error is partially to blame, they may still be entitled to monetary compensation for their injuries because manufacturers are required to take into consideration the possibility of human error. An appliance or consumer product should be designed to function safely in the event of human error. A product may be defective if the product was not labeled with sufficient instructions or warnings about necessary precautions because the manufacturer failed to do so.
Product liability lawsuits help protect other consumers from using defective products because it forces manufacturers to consider product safety.
