Injured consumers can file product liability lawsuits when defective products cause injuries despite the appropriate use of the products. Manufacturers are not the only liable party in product liability lawsuits. Sometimes, the fault lies with other supply chain members, such as retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers of product components. Nonetheless, the party responsible for the injury ultimately pays the damages.
An injured plaintiff may be adjudged damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical costs. Judges will factor the loss into the payable damages if defective products damage property. Typical examples of damaged properties in product liability claims are homes and vehicles.
