Monroe, NC Product Liability Cases: Types of Products Involved
Some types of products are more likely to cause harm than others if they’re defective, poorly designed, or otherwise dangerous. They include the following:
- Motor vehicle parts
- Bicycle parts
- Boat parts
- Industrial equipment
- Construction equipment
- Fire safety equipment
This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the types of products that could injure consumers. If you’ve been harmed while using a product that isn’t on this list, you could still benefit from reviewing your case with an attorney to learn more about your potential legal options.
Who is Liable in a Product Liability Case?
If you’ve been injured as a result of using a dangerous product, you may be left with medical bills, lost wages if you can’t work, and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering.
You can seek compensation for these losses by filing a claim with the insurance of the party who negligently caused your injuries. In a product liability case, said party may be a product’s:
- Designers: Sometimes, the designers of a product don’t account for inherent flaws that can put users in harm’s way.
- Manufacturers: A safe product design doesn’t guarantee users won’t be injured. Accidents can happen if manufacturers overlook defects.
- Marketers: It is often the duty of a product’s marketers to offer consumers thorough safety instructions and warnings. You might have been injured because this information wasn’t adequately provided.
