Product Liability
Every year, thousands of consumers sustain serious injuries from defective products. Many of these injuries could be avoided if the manufacturers or distributors of these products took additional steps to ensure consumer safety. The main incentive to increase product safety is to avoid potential liability in product liability lawsuits which provide compensation for the personal injuries sustained from the use of a defective product.
When a consumer is injured they may be entitled to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of physical capacity, pain, suffering, and mental anguish. Punitive damages are also available in many jurisdictions to punish defendants in those cases involving particularly egregious conduct which demonstrates a reckless or wanton disregard for the safety of the public.
Our attorneys have successfully represented plaintiffs in lawsuits against manufacturers and distributors of defective or unsafe consumer products including: automobiles, tires, electronics and appliances.
