Elements of a Product Liability Lawsuit

Defective and dangerous products have been known to cause a wide range of injuries including burns, broken bones, brain trauma, and even injuries that result in deaths.

In order to prove product liability you must be able to prove that the product you used was dangerous and defective, you suffered an injury and the defective and dangerous product caused your injury.

Proving your injury requires medical records, bills for your medical expenses related to the injury, and photographs of your injury to prove what occurred and to record the severity of your injuries, because the intensity of the harm done to you will eventually determine the level of compensation you receive.

You must be able to show your injury was caused by the negligence or actions of the responsible party. The product's designer, manufacturer or the retailer can all be held liable for your injuries.

A product liability lawsuit must be filed within a set amount of time which varies by location and what laws apply to that area. Once this time limit expires, no lawsuit may be filed.

If you or someone you love has suffered an injury due to the use of a dangerous or defective product, please contact the Hamilton, Ontario office of the Findlay Law Offices today and an experienced product liability attorney will be happy to advise you of your legal rights and obtain the financial compensation to which you are entitled.
