Dangerous Products
What Are Dangerous Products?
Sometimes called defective products, dangerous products can refer to any type of products and services that cause damages or injuries to consumers or even manufacturers' workers themselves. Occurring in many types and forms, damages or injuries sustained from defective products can range from minor to severe and even fatal cases, such as defective household products, defective elevator doors, defective consumer electronics, among other things.
Individuals suffering from dangerous products and subsequent financial and emotional burdens can attempt to pursue legal compensations under product liability law which indicates that a manufacturer can be held liable for failing to maintain its product quality and causing damage or injury to a consumer(s) or employee(s). In addition, because product liability can extend to all parties involved in a chain of distribution, in some cases it is thus also possible for a victim to seek legal compensation against other third parties such as manufacturers of specific components, wholesalers, and/or final retailers, as well, depending on all the circumstances leading up to the damage.
How Can Product Liability Lawyers Help Individuals?
Lawyers specializing in product liability lawsuits can assist, advise, and represent victims injured by dangerous products of any type. Depending on each person’s circumstances, you may need a lawyer to help pursue a compensation claim that can start as initially as from identifying a defendant to ultimately filing a lawsuit and representing your case in a trial. Firstly gathering related records including medical records, medical bills, and insurance policy information, along with other evidence, your assigned legal team will usually attempt to comprehend the nature and extent of your injury as much as possible first to measure the type and extent of your compensation and then proceed to negotiate with the defense to help you achieve the compensation, outside the courtroom. If somehow the initial negotiation fails, the legal team will usually help you pursue your claim further through civil litigation.
