Automobile system failures can create terrible accidents. Some types of automobile product failures that can cause serious accidents include:
- Braking system failures
- Door lock failures
- Roof crush
- SUV rollover
- Seatbelt failure
- Other system failures
Product Liability and Prescription Drugs
Another type of product that can be especially dangerous if defective is prescription drugs. The Federal Drug Administration approves a number of new prescription drugs every year after an examination process.
During this time, it is the responsibility of the pharmaceutical company to notice, foresee and warn of any potential risks or side effects associated with their product. Furthermore, any defects in the drug should be found before the approval process to protect users from injury.
Unfortunately, many drug manufacturers have a greater desire to put the drug on the market and begin obtaining revenue, which causes them to cover up certain problems and risks from their product. If this is the case, they can be held liable for any injuries their drug causes.
Defects in products such as prescription drugs that can cause injury and constitute a product liability claim include:
- Defects in the design of the product
- Defects in the manufacturing of the product
- Defects/failures in the marketing and labeling of the product
Dangerous drugs can be extremely injurious considering the fact that people using the drug are likely seeking treatment for an existing treatment. Any accident caused by a product failure or defect needs the assistance of a qualified personal injury attorney.
You deserve compensation for damages if the commercial product was faulty, defective or unsafe. Product liability claims vary due to the extent of the damage that was caused.
