damages Covered by Product Liability Law

Did you know that product liability cases have the second-highest median damage compensation of all personal injury cases? Product liability lawsuits often involve one or more parties who are injured, or owe money to someone who is injured. The plaintiff is the person who brings the lawsuit against the defendant, which can be the manufacturer of the product or the wholesaler of the product. The defendant may be a company selling a product that was defective and caused injuries, a company that sold an unapproved product, or a company that manufactured a defective product. Product liability lawsuits are typically brought in state courts, but federal courts are sometimes used. Product liability lawsuits can be filed by individuals and by groups of individuals.
