Roseville Product Liability Lawyer
Defective products cause untold damage and harm every year. If you’ve been hurt by a manufacturer’s carelessness, a Roseville product liability lawyer can help you seek both justice and financial compensation.
When manufacturing companies fail to take proper safety measures, defective products are the result and consumers are put at risk. A product liability case can cover everything from exploding gas grills to defective auto parts. The thing they all have in common is the high risk for inflicting serious injury and death.
If you were injured because of a company’s negligence, you could have grounds for a personal injury case. A Roseville product liability lawyer from Crowell Law Offices can help you determine what your claim is worth and how best to proceed.
Types of Product Liability Cases
As mentioned, defective products cover virtually any manufactured item that you can buy. These are just a few examples:
- Products catching fire or burning
- Toxic substances in products that cause illness and other health problems
- Malfunctions that lead to accidents and injuries
Each situation is entirely unique, but one thing is clear: products are sold with the understanding that they are safe when used as intended. If you were injured by a defective product, you can sue the manufacturer to compensate your damages.
Who’s To Blame for Defective Products?
One important reason to retain a Roseville product liability lawyer is for help with proving negligence. To have a case, someone else needs to be responsible for what happened. Proving the negligence of a large company can be difficult, making it necessary to work with an attorney who has investigative resources.
Keep in mind that the manufacturer will try to prove that their product was not at fault for your incident—but that you were. Our job is to demonstrate that you were using the product as intended and were injured anyway.
If more than one party was responsible, we can name them all in your product liability suit, as is common in cases that involve manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
Compensation for Your Injuries
Getting the most financial compensation possible for your injuries requires looking at how they have impacted your life overall. For example, have you taken time off from work or had to hire a caregiver? Have you stopped doing things that you enjoy? We will ask a variety of questions to determine the full impact of your injuries when valuing your claim.
With the help of a Roseville product liability lawyer, you could receive money for any of the following that apply to your case:
- Transportation expenses
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost wages and long-term diminished earning potential
- Cost to retrofit your home to accommodate a disability
- Therapy and rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering
- Lost enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
Wrongful Death and Defective Products
If a product malfunction led to the death of someone you love, you may qualify to file a wrongful death lawsuit. In California, any of the following relations can file suit:
- Spouse or domestic partner
- Child
- Lawful heirs
- Financially dependent stepchild, putative spouse, or parent
In a wrongful death case, you can receive compensation for the deceased’s medical bills, funeral expenses, and lost wages, along with pain and suffering.
