New Westminster Defective Product Lawyer

Every time you purchase a product—a hairdryer, a toaster oven, a vacuum cleaner– your expectation is that it will work perfectly and safely. Your expectation is also that it will perform the way it has been advertised and marketed. However, the reality is that people are routinely injured by malfunctioning consumer products. If this has happened to you, you might need our Preszler team of New Westminster product liability lawyers.

Following an injury, you could have a legal claim against the manufacturer of a product. If you believe you are entitled to compensation, you could benefit from a consultation with a personal injury law firm. At Preszler Law, we are dedicated to serving as strong advocates for our clients.

Damages available in a product liability lawsuit

The damages you could recover in a product liability lawsuit are like those in any successful negligence lawsuit. These damages fall into two categories: pecuniary losses and non-pecuniary losses.

Pecuniary losses involve measurable, monetary damages. The most common example is medical bills. A successful lawsuit could recover not only past medical bills but compensation for future medical expenses as well. Proving these damages is straightforward, as there are typically bills or receipts that could be used as evidence.

Non-pecuniary losses are not so simple to prove at trial. These losses are more subjective and include things like pain and suffering. Because these losses cannot be established with evidence like receipts or invoices, it will fall to your New Westminster product liability lawyer to demonstrate their value.

What’s more, you might be able to recover compensation for any property damage. The major exception to this rule is that you are unlikely to recover compensation for the product that injured you. You could have a warranty claim that might cover that loss, however.
