Common Reasons Products May Cause Injury

Product liability cases tend to arise for one of the following key reasons:

• Design errors: Some types of products have the inherent potential to cause accidents if they aren’t used properly. For example, a chainsaw can naturally cause harm when misused. That said, there are instances when negligent product designers fail to recognize how basic design flaws can render products unreasonably dangerous.
• Manufacturing errors: Those responsible for manufacturing a product must monitor the process to ensure defects aren’t overlooked. Consumers are often hurt because defects aren’t properly identified and addressed during the manufacturing phase.
• Inadequate safety information or instructions: A product’s packaging and other such materials should sufficiently warn users when misuse has the potential to cause harm. It should also include detailed instructions regarding how to use a product correctly. You may be eligible to recover financial compensation if you were harmed as a result of using a product because these materials were inadequate or missing.

How a Gastonia Product Liability Attorney Can Help

The losses and challenges you might face in the aftermath of an accident caused by a defective product can vary depending on the severity of your injuries and other such factors. Examples of losses you might sustain include (but aren’t limited to):

• Bills for medical treatment
• Lost wages, as your injuries could prevent you from returning to work until you’ve fully recovered from them
• Pain and other such non-economic damages that might not have objective dollar values

You deserve to recover financial compensation for these losses if your accident resulted from the negligence of a product’s designers, manufacturers, and/or marketers. Pursuing said compensation may involve filing a claim with their insurance.

Strong consider enlisting the help of an attorney before doing so. A Gastonia product liability lawyer can handle such tasks as:

• Investigating the circumstances of your accident to identify the liable parties
• Gathering evidence to prove negligence was a factor in your accident
• Adding up your losses to get a general sense of how much compensation you may deserve
• Filing a claim and negotiating on your behalf if the insurance company’s first offers are unreasonably low
