Who Can Be Held Liable for Product Liability?
Your product liability attorney could potentially hold several parties liable in a product liability claim. Our team may focus on the following:
The Product Manufacturer
The company that made the defective product may hold primarily liability, as they are responsible for the proper design and manufacturing of all products they put on the market.
The Product Supplier
Your product liability lawyer may also pursue any business that supplied the defective product. These businesses may share liability, depending on their role.
Wholesalers and Retailers
We may consider a claim against wholesalers that distributed a defective product to retailers. Our team may also look into stores selling a defective product directly to consumers. We aggressively assess all companies for liability.
Product Repair Technicians
Finally, your law firm may dig into the actions of repair technicians if they improperly installed, modified, or repaired a product before it caused injury.
An experienced product liability attorney can help identify all potentially liable parties in a case and build the strongest claim possible.

What do You Need to Prove for Product Liability?
Your product liability lawyer needs to establish several variables to build a viable product liability claim. We focus on showing that:
The Product Had a Defect
Your lawyer must show that the product involved in your accident contained a defect that made it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use. The defect could be in design, manufacturing, or marketing flaws.
You Experienced an Injury
Our team must prove you suffered physical injury, illness, or death caused by the defective product. Monetary damages alone are typically insufficient.
The Product Caused Your Injury
We must demonstrate a direct connection between the product defect and the resulting injuries or damage you sustained. We must show that you sustained quantifiable monetary losses associated with the injury or harm.
Meeting the legal standard and burden of proof requires solid evidence, expert testimony, and effective legal advocacy. An experienced product liability attorney can navigate the complexities for you.
What Compensation do You Get for a Product Liability Case?
A successful product liability case can allow you to secure funds to cover your:
Medical Expenses
Your product liability attorney can help you seek funds to cover the costs of your hospital bills, surgery costs, therapy, rehabilitation, prescriptions, and ongoing medical care related to the injuries.
Lost Income
We consider any past and future wages lost due to the inability to work during recovery and treatment. Our team may also address your lost earning capacity after an injury from a defective product.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
You may qualify for compensation for the loss of enjoyment of life due to permanent disabilities or impairment caused by injuries.
Pain and Suffering
We consider the effects of physical pain, emotional trauma, loss of companionship, and reduced quality of life on you after an accident with a defective product. We can seek compensation to address these concerns.
Punitive Damages
In cases of gross negligence or reckless behavior, the court may award you punitive damages. This form of compensation serves as a way to penalize the company or individual who caused your injuries.
Property Damages
Finally, we can discuss the repair or replacement costs for any property damaged by the defective product. Learn more by contacting a product liability lawyer now.
