Wrongful Death
Whenever a consumer purchases an item they assume that the product is safe, and that it will add convenience to their life. However, what they do not expect is for an injury, or death, to be the result of using the merchandise. Manufacturers take on the responsibility of making sure that their goods are ready for consumers on the open market, and not all defects are due to negligence. Sometimes, these malfunctioning products just do not get pulled from the store shelves quickly enough.Still, product liability refers to the manufacturer being held liable for the consumer receiving the defective goods.

There are a lot of moving parts that are essential for vehicle motor function. If these integral pieces are not operating at peak performance levels, and in the manner that they were intended, roll-overs, fires, and various other problems can occur. A cracked hose or tank can leave gas flowing everywhere, and a small spark will ignite the material in an instant. The incident may not involve a defective product at all. The brutal nature of car crashes might be the only culprit that is liable for the occurrence, but if it can be proven that the manufacturer is at least partially to blame for the fire, the family of the wrongful death party may be entitled to compensation for the damages.

Bumps and bruises are essential to their learning process, but certain things like top-heavy dressers, or misaligned table legs, can lead to a loss of life, which happens more often than one might think. Toddlers and infants, just learning to walk, are growing muscles that help them to withstand obstacles that life throws their way, but they are not big enough to handle the weight of massive objects thrust upon their body. Mounting brackets and equipment must be installed, if it is given in the packaging, and if not, all efforts should be made to get the pieces from the company. If the manufacturer sells the product without a remedy for tipping or falling over, victims may be entitled to fair compensation.
