Manufacturing Defects

If you have been injured by a defective product, you are entitled compensation. This can be a complex matter. Where you have been hurt by a manufacturing defect, it will be necessary to identify the correct company to sue. Even then a company will seek to shift the blame to a part supplier or distributor or to you saying you did not follow the directions or that you altered the product. Where you are seeking compensation for manufacturing defects, it is important to seek the help of an experienced and competent product liability attorney.

Damages from Defects

When you are hurt by a manufacturing defect you are entitled to full damages. This may include medical expenses, hospitalization costs, loss of income, lost earning capacity property losses and pain and suffering. If a family member has died in the accident, the family may bring a wrongful death action for loss of comfort and support and funeral and burial costs.

Common Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects in cars can be fatal defects. These include failures in seat belts, airbags and brakes. Some defective off road vehicles are known to cause rollover accidents killing the occupants.

Many household products poorly manufactured can be disastrous. For example, a smoke detector that does not go off can mean catastrophic injuries, and food improperly canned can lead to food poisoning.
