Product Liability
When businesses put profits before the safety and well-being of people, serious injury can and often does occur. Companies have a legal and ethical obligation to ensure that the products they manufacture and sell will not harm the people who use or purchase them. When an injury occurs due to rushing a product to market, cutting corners, or ignoring safety concerns, the company that makes, sells, or offers the product has a responsibility to provide compensation to the victim or their family. The attorneys at Product Injury Legal Group are familiar with the physical, emotional, and financial damages that defective products cause. Every year, way too many 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. When manufacturers know that they face the risk of being sued in a products liability lawsuit, it encourages them to make safer products. An injured consumer who prevails in a products liability claim may receive compensation for death, temporary and permanent injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain, suffering, and mental anguish. An injured person may also seek punitive or exemplary damages, which seek to punish and deter those who demonstrate a reckless or wanton disregard for the safety of others. In addition to the monetary considerations of a favorable verdict, you may find solace in the fact that those responsible for your situation will be brought to justice. Moreover, you will contribute to public safety by making manufacturers accountable for safer and more dependable products.
