Although federal and state agencies attempt to address faulty products each year, they do not compensate an injured party for damages they incurred. A Product Liability Law Firm West Palm FL can represent someone that’s been injured due to the failure of a product. Product liability is the responsibility a manufacturer or vendor has for compensating an individual because they’ve provided merchandise that was faulty. The individual must prove they received actual harm from a product. Determining fault can also be difficult to determine. For example, in an accident with a tractor trailer truck, it could be the fault of the truck, driver, trailer owner, roadway or a variety of other things.
Someone may have heard about a recall for an automobile or food product on the television or radio. In some cases, the company caught a failure in their product early. In many cases with a faulty product, someone has already been injured, and it was brought to the attention of the negligent company by a Product Liability Law Firm West Palm Beach FL. A company can be held liable for the negligence of reasonable care for a product. This could be through poor design or manufacturing of a product. Even if one single employee of a company did not perform their work properly and someone was injured from a product, the company will still be held liable.
If a company claims that a product is safe and give a consumer false information about the security and safety of a product, the company can be held liable for damages. Damages can include medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of wages and a variety of other things. An experienced liability attorney will offer a free consultation of someone’s case. Detailed information about the product, use, place of purchase and any other information you have should be taken to an appointment with the attorney.
