Manufacturers that produce items for consumers such as toys, food, vehicles, and appliances, to name a few, are responsible for ensuring that the product is safe. Thousands of individuals sustain injuries due to unsafe products every year in the United States, and if you have been the victim of an unsafe product, you may have grounds to file a product liability case. Individuals that sustain an injury or illness will likely incur expenses related to medical treatment, lost wages if time off work is required, and property damages.
