4. What is a “defective product”?
A defective product is one that is considered reasonably dangerous for its intended use. “Reasonably dangerous” is determined by weighing the products benefits against its potential risks. If the risks are greater than the benefits, the product can be considered defective. The defectiveness of a product may also be established by showing the product was dangerous beyond “consumer expectations.”

5. Who can be held responsible in a product liability case?
Virtually any party in the production and distribution chain of a product can be culpable in a product liability case. If the product was defective in design, the product's designers can be held accountable. The manufacturer can be held liable if the product was defective in the way it was made if sub-standard materials were used, and for a variety of other things. The party who sold or repaired the product can also be held accountable.

6. What do I have to prove in a product liability case?
This requirement varies by state and different grounds can be used to make a claim of product liability. Negligence, for example, is one legal ground on which a product liability claim can be filed. By this claim, the injured party argues the manufacturer or other party failed to produce a safe product, failed to adequately inform consumers about the possible risks and dangers, or any other failure to act as product liability law requires. A product liability lawsuit can also be filed based on strict liability.

7. What damages can I seek through a product liability lawsuit?
This, too, depends on the state and circumstances of your case. Generally speaking, you can seek compensation for medical expenses, past and future loss of wages, loss of earning potential, other out-of-pocket expenses, pain and suffering, and more. Punitive damages may be sought when the wrongdoing was severe or intentional.

8. Will I need a lot of money to file a product liability claim?
Most product liability attorneys take cases on a “contingency fee” basis. This means the attorney does not get paid until you receive compensation for your losses and suffering. When your case is successful, your attorneys will take a small percentage of the total sum you have been awarded. There may be some costs incurred during the course of discovery and other case-related proceedings. In some cases, the attorney will absorb theses costs. In other cases, the client will be expected to pay as they come up. It is important to speak with your qualified product liability attorney regarding your financial arrangements.
