Product Liability Claims
Faulty products are to blame for thousands of people getting hurt every year. You buy a product and you expect that product to be safe and work safely. Those who have been hurt due to a faulty product may have a product liability case. Vehicles with faulty parts have been in the news for having bad airbags, defective tires, ignition switches that are bad and faulty steering systems.
Defected products that are sold to customers makes the seller liable if that customer gets hurt. Buyers trust the seller that the products they just bought will do what they were made to do and not blow up or throw parts at them when they use the product. That trust is broken when the product fails and the customer gets harmed.
A product liability lawsuit can be filed if the buyer can show that the product caused injury, damage or death. A lawsuit can be filed if the buyer can show that the manufacturer contributed to the poor quality or the design of the product was faulty. When a product is marked as safe and does not warn the consumer of any dangerous parts and the consumer gets hurt, then the seller is at fault. A lawsuit can be filed against the seller.
Faulty Medical Devices
Manufacturers have good intentions when they make their medical devices that the devices will help doctors in treating and diagnosing their patient’s injuries. Some of those devices end up being faulty and harming the patients. The devices made are to either diagnose a patient’s problem or they may be surgical devices. Some faulty devices end up being implanted in patients. Implanted devices can be for cosmetic reasons, for cardiac patients or orthopedic devices. When they fail, the patient may be harmed instead of being helped back to a better life.
Some reasons for faulty medical devices are that they may be causing pain, bleeding, infection, or some other complications after the patient has had surgery. Some of these devices can spread diseased cells in the body from one part of the body to another or leave toxic chemicals behind in the body.
Devices that have caused patients to have problems may involve breast implants, hip and knee replacements, pacemakers, cardiac stents, intrauterine devices, transvaginal mesh, and many other devices. Manufacturers who are at fault for the faulty devices will have top-notch attorneys on their payrolls. Without a knowledgeable attorney who knows about defective devices, your chances are slim at receiving any compensation for your injuries, pain, and suffering or lost wages.
