Product Liability & Compensation

If you believe that a product you purchased could be dangerous, there are three ways, under product liability law, that you can be compensated for your injuries.

If the product has a defect or design flaw, you could have suffered injuries as a result. Even if the manufacturing and assembly process are deemed to be in good working order, any products that are released from it could be held liable. A defect could also arise when a product has been manufactured safely but not in accordance with specifications and plans.

And finally, if inadequate instructions of warnings are present with a product, that do not warn about its inherent or possible dangers upon usage, then the company could also be held liable. In many cases you do not have to prove that the manufacturer was negligent. You do need to show, however, that the product was defective, that said defect existed before it was released to the market and the defect is the primary cause of your injuries.
