Thousands of consumers sustain serious injuries from defective products every year. Many of these injuries could be avoided if additional steps were taken by manufacturers or distributors of these products to protect consumers. Many safety improvements are only implemented after the companies are faced with numerous product liability lawsuits. Product liability deals with the liability of any party or all parties involved with the manufacture of a product for damages caused by it. Products liability claims can be based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty of fitness depending on where the claim originates.

When a consumer is injured they may be entitled to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of physical capacity, pain, suffering, and mental anguish. Depending on your jurisdiction, punitive damages may also be available to punish defendants that have demonstrated a reckless or wanton disregard for the safety of the public.
