Understanding Damages in Product Liability Claims
In a product liability case, the compensation you receive, known as damages, is crucial for covering the losses you’ve incurred due to a defective product. These damages are categorized into different types, each addressing specific aspects of your loss and suffering:
Economic Damages
These are quantifiable losses that have a direct impact on your finances.
- Medical expenses: Covers past and future medical treatments related to the injury
- Lost wages: Compensates for income lost while you were unable to work
- Property damage: Pays for the repair or replacement of personal property damaged by the unsafe product
Non-Economic Damages
These compensate for losses that are not financially quantifiable but significantly impact your quality of life.
- Pain and suffering: Addresses physical discomfort and emotional distress
- Loss of consortium: Compensates for the impact on relationships with your spouse or family members
- Emotional distress: Covers psychological effects such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD
If you lost a loved one due to a defective product, we would be honored to seek justice for them through a wrongful death claim.
By understanding these different types of damages, you can better appreciate the potential compensation available to you in a product liability case.
