When Defect Turns Into Destruction
We’ve all had a product break on us— but sometimes, a defective product leaves an impact beyond frustration. Dangerous products can cause severe physical injuries that leave lasting pain for victims. The product liability attorneys at Muchnick Haber Margolis are prepared to investigate where the defect came from and who is responsible.
Types of Compensation
An important part of your case is determining the damages you have incurred as a result of the defective product. Damages are, essentially, the sum of money paid to you to compensate for the costs and suffering associated with the incident. There are economic damages, non-economic damages and punitive damages.
- Economic damages are meant to restore your quality of life to its original state, whether that’s through covering medical expenses, lost wages or lost ability to earn future income. Think of it as a dollar amount that reflects your experience.
- Non-economic damages are meant to cover impacted areas of life that cannot have an assigned dollar value, such as pain and suffering.
- Punitive damages are pursued when the defendant’s negligence was particularly heinous. They are often much higher amounts and are intended to deter others from committing similar acts.
Common Defective Products
From household appliances to heavy machinery, defects can occur in any product. Certain products tend to see more issues than others, and we often see defects in categories such as:
- Airbags
- Cosmetics
- Pesticides
- Medicine
- Children’s toys
- Medical devices
- Household appliances
- Industrial equipment
