The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

Product liability laws are designed to protect consumers against negligence so a consumer who is injured by the use of a defective product can receive financial compensation for injuries or damages from the manufacturer or distributor of the defective product.

Damages for defective consumer product injuries can include payment for pain and suffering, disability and disfigurement, lost income, rehabilitation costs and any other expenses incurred as a result of injuries sustained in the use of the defective product.

Defective consumer products are often the cause of the initiation of a wrongful death lawsuit. As an example, defective tires are a well documented cause of a defective product being responsible for a fatal automobile accident. In another tragic example defective toys can maim and kill. Children have been injured or killed due to choking hazards, flammable or sharp toys or toys contaminated with lead.

If you or someone you care about has been injured or killed by the use of a defective consumer product, it is in your best interest to consult a product liability attorney as soon as possible as there is a time limit in filing a claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the defective product.
