Every day, consumers place their trust in the products they use, expecting them to be safe and free from defects. Unfortunately, defective and dangerous products can cause serious injuries and even fatalities. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a defective product, you have the right to seek justice and compensation for your injuries. At John Russell Legal Service, we specialize in product liability cases and are here to help you understand your legal rights.
Understanding Product Liability
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and sellers to ensure that the products they place in the hands of consumers are safe for their intended use. When a defective product causes harm to a consumer, the parties involved in the chain of distribution may be held liable for damages.
Types of Product Defects
Product defects can take various forms, including:
- Design defects: These occur when there is an inherent flaw in the design of the product, making it unreasonably dangerous even when manufactured as intended.
- Manufacturing defects: These occur during the manufacturing process, resulting in a product that deviates from its intended design and poses a risk of harm to consumers.
- Marketing defects: Also known as failure to warn or inadequate labeling, these occur when a product lacks proper warnings or instructions for safe use, leading to injuries or accidents.
Your Rights as an Injured Consumer
If you’ve been injured by a defective product, you have rights under product liability law. These rights may entitle you to seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses: This includes the cost of medical treatment, hospitalization, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing care related to your injuries.
- Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working or earning income, you may be eligible to recover compensation for lost wages, including future earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering: Product liability cases can cause physical pain, emotional distress, and a diminished quality of life. Compensation may be available to address these non-economic damages.
