Parties involved with the creation and distribution of products must ensure they are safe to use and warn consumers of their potential dangers. When they fail to do this, serious injuries can occur. If a dangerous product injured you or a family member, speak with an attorney.
Each year approximately five to ten percent of all personal injury liability lawsuits are based on defective products and the injuries they caused. The basis for these lawsuits is that the individual injured or killed was using them as reasonably expected. Injuries from dangerous products are so rampant that the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) keeps detailed records of all injuries and deaths related to them. A Chicago personal injury lawyer
Nearly every product you or your family uses, either routinely or sporadically, can cause some kind of injury. When product designers, manufacturers, and distributors don’t take the safety of American families into account when producing products, they cause injuries, and some of them are fatal. Products can be dangerous for many different reasons, such as:
Common examples of dangerous products include:
Dangerous products can harm you and your family physically, emotionally, and financially. The injured individual could have physical injuries such as burns, broken bones, scarring, disfigurement, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), damage to internal organs, and soft tissue injuries. The entire family can suffer financial harm when parents lose wages, and the medical bills start to stack up. Emotional injuries can impact everyone in the family as well; for example, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, and humiliation.
When a product’s design was flawed, it was manufactured poorly, or it didn’t provide the necessary warnings and instructions, the negligent parties should compensate the injured individuals for the damages they cause. When your claim is negotiated or goes before a jury, your Chicago personal injury attorney will show how your injuries and damages have negatively impacted your life and the lives of those around you to maximize your compensation.
If you suffered an injury due to a defective product, you might feel like you have to battle the corporate giants alone and that no one will believe you. That’s not the case when you hire the attorneys at Malman Law. You are more than just a number to us. We have the experience and skill to stand up to corporations and hold them accountable for their negligence.
