When a consumer makes a purchase, regardless of the type of product being bought, there are certain expectations as to the quality and safety of the product. Those expectations do not just exist in the minds of consumers, but companies, manufacturers, and designers are legally obligated to make safe products. Seeking compensation through a product liability lawsuit allows victims of defective and dangerous products to recover from serious injuries caused by the failure to make a safe product.
There are several required elements to be able to successfully prove a product liability lawsuit. A valid product liability claim will be able to show an actual injury or monetary loss, the existence of a product that is defective, evidence that the defect caused the injury, and the product was being used as intended by the manufacturer at the time of the injury.7 Identifying these four basic elements is an essential step towards proving a defective product claim.
If you have been injured, because of a dangerous product used in your home it is important to discuss the circumstances of the injury with an experienced product liability attorney who can help you to determine what claims should be filed and protect your legal rights and interests.
