Product liability cases can involve a wide range of goods, from household appliances to industrial machinery, medical devices, vehicles, and more. Any product that is sold and causes harm due to defects may be subject to a claim.
The key factor is usually whether the product was defective in design, materials, manufacturing, or lacked adequate warnings and instructions, potentially leading to injury or damages.
Missouri law generally requires that a product liability lawsuit be filed within five years from the date the injury occurred or was discovered. This timeframe is known as the statute of limitations.
It’s important to consult with an attorney early to ensure your claim is filed on time and to preserve evidence crucial to your case.
In many cases, product liability claims focus on personal injury or property damage. If only the product itself is damaged and you have no additional losses, compensation claims might be limited.
However, every situation is unique, so it is advisable to discuss your circumstances with an attorney to evaluate any legal options available.
Compensation can include reimbursement for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages designed to deter negligent manufacturers.
The exact amount depends on the specifics of your case, including the severity of injuries and the impact on your life.
In product liability cases, proof often focuses on the defectiveness of the product itself rather than negligence, under theories like strict liability.
This means you may not need to prove fault, only that the product was defective and caused your injury while being used as intended.
