We purchase a product with the hope and expectation it will make our lives better. We choose a brand as we trust that it is of good quality and it will serve the purpose and will function well as we use it. But what if in the course of doing so, there are injuries or accidents brought about by that product?
There is a product liability lawsuit in which lawyers for defective products can help you recover economic damages ranging from medical care, loss of capacity to earn, loss of wages, and loss of your ability to provide for the financial needs of your family. And there are non-economic damages as well which may include pain and suffering, mental and emotional stress, physical impairment, and loss of enjoyment of life.
If you had injuries because of a defective or malfunctioning product, you can file a product liability lawsuit with the help of experienced defective product lawyers. You will learn that manufacturing companies, distributors, and sellers can be held responsible in these instances or situations.
What are the damages one can recover from a product liability lawsuit?
One may think or feel that it is impossible, improbable, or unattainable for this to work in your favor. However, those who are responsible may be held liable based on the theory of negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty to name a few.
Defective product injury lawyers will help you recover all the economic and non-economic damages associated with the product.
Damages usually include:
- Medical expenses
- Hospitalization and treatments
- Loss of earning capacity
- Loss of income during recovery
- Costs of continuing disability
- Loss of support and services provided for the family
Defective product lawyers will consult and work together with medical experts and specialists to be able to determine the actual and long-term costs of the injury.
The non-economic damages because of the injury cannot be quantified but in some rare cases, punitive damages are awarded. The pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of quality of life will also be considered in the case filed.
Manufacturing companies may also be tried if they have acted with negligence and carelessness in the production or marketing of a product.
How can I win a product liability lawsuit?
The impression with this type of lawsuit is like a David and Goliath case. Reputation and credibility are top priorities of manufacturing companies or corporations.
