Potential Damages in Product Liability Cases
If you've suffered harm due to a defective or unsafe product, you may be eligible for compensation to cover various types of economic and non-economic damages, depending on the circumstances of your case. Here are a few usually at the foundation of these types of cases.
Medical Expenses
You can seek compensation for past and future medical bills resulting from your injuries. This may include hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and more.
Pain and Suffering
Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering and reduced quality of life, can be challenging to quantify. However, a knowledgeable product liability lawyer at Fowler Pickert Eisenmenger Norfleet can help you determine a fair amount for these damages.
Lost Income
If your injuries caused you to miss work or have resulted in a decreased earning capacity, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages and loss of future income earnings.
Property Damage
In some cases, a defective product can cause damage to your property. Your product liability lawyer can help recover the costs of repairing or replacing damaged items.
Wrongful Death Claim
In cases of product liability leading to wrongful death, families of the deceased can seek compensation for the loss of their loved one by filing a wrongful death claim. A compassionate and skilled lawyer can help surviving family members recover damages such as funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship.
