When a company sells a product, it must ensure that the product performs as advertised, includes clear and complete instructions for use and safety warnings, and poses no unreasonable safety risks when used as intended. If a product causes harm to an end user due to a defect, the company may face liability for any resulting damages.
If you have been injured due to a potentially defective product, we can help. Our firm has successfully handled claims involving medical devices, pharmaceutical products, motor vehicles and other products.
Understanding Product Liability Law in Connecticut
We have tried product liability cases in Hartford Courts and understand the complexities of product liability law. Most product liability cases involve defects, and a product may be determined to be defective in one of these possible ways:
- Defective design: A defective design means that every unit produced using the same flawed design shares the same defect. If such a product has harmed an end user, it is likely that other end users could suffer similar harm.
- Defective production: Defects in production may only affect specific units or production lots. This means that the product’s danger may be limited. For example, there may have been a problem during the production of specific units, resulting in harm to the user.
- Defective marketing: This is more variable and could include failure to include instructions for use, failure to include necessary safety warnings, or misrepresenting the product in advertisements.
The process of uncovering what aspects of a product are defective is difficult and requires expertise. At The Reardon Law Firm, P.C., we rely on a network of experts from around the country to assist us in successfully handling these claims.
Recovering Compensation in a Product Liability Case
The purpose of a personal injury case, whether filed in Hartford or beyond, is to ensure the injured plaintiff secures the compensation they need to recover from injuries caused by a negligent defendant. Product liability cases often involve filing suit against large corporations with unlimited resources. This is why it is critical to hire a firm that has the resources and knowledge to effectively represent you.
There are many types of damages that can be claimed in a product defect case, including:
- Medical treatment costs: If the defective product physically injured you, you may be able to obtain compensation for the cost of the medical care you need. You have the right to seek compensation for immediate and future medical treatment costs incurred because of the harm the defective product caused.
- Lost wages: If your injury prevents you from working, you have the right to claim compensation for the income you have lost. If you are permanently disabled, you may be able to recover compensation for your lost earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering You may have the right to claim compensation for physical pain and emotional trauma caused by a defendant’s conduct. The amount of compensation a plaintiff can obtain typically depends on the overall severity of their injuries.
Some product liability cases may reveal more widespread issues of negligence in product manufacturing. According to Insurance Journal, 5,826 product liability claims were filed in US federal courts in 2022. Between 2018 and 2022, large companies like Johnson & Johnson and Ford Motor Company were the subject of many of these claims. The Reardon Law Firm, P.C. has handled cases against both of these companies.
