What Types of Compensation Are You Eligible For?

Product liability claims often involve catastrophic or permanent injuries that can upend a person’s life. In Colorado, victims of defective products have the legal right to pursue a wide range of compensation to help rebuild and support their lives.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be eligible to receive:

Medical Expenses: Emergency treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, medications, therapy, and ongoing care.
Lost Wages: Income lost from time off work and diminished future earning potential.
Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional trauma, and long-term psychological effects.
Permanent Disability or Disfigurement: Life-changing injuries that require home modifications or personal assistance.
Wrongful Death: Funeral costs, loss of financial support, and emotional suffering for surviving family members.
Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence, courts may award additional damages to punish the manufacturer and deter future misconduct.

Don't Wait Around. Colorado Statute of Limitations

Colorado law limits the time you have to file a product liability lawsuit. In most cases, you must file within two years of discovering the injury. However, exceptions may apply in certain cases, such as when the injury is not immediately apparent.

Failing to file within the statute of limitations can result in the dismissal of your case. That’s why it’s critical to consult with a Denver product liability lawyer as soon as possible. Early investigation and evidence preservation can make a major difference in the success of your claim.

What Is "Product Liability"?

Quite simply, manufacturers are held to a certain standard when it comes to their products. If they place dangerous or defective products in the hands of consumers, they must pay the costs. The law requires products to "meet the ordinary expectations" of consumers. A defective product does not. When a consumer is injured, the consumer has full rights under the law to file a claim for compensation.

The responsibility for a product-related injury may lie with multiple parties, including the seller, the distributor, the manufacturer, or the designer of the product. It all depends on what caused the defect and what caused your injury. Determining how the defect occurred in the first place may seem challenging, but it will be narrowed down by the type of defect.

The Three Types of Product Defects

While there are countless ways for a product to be defective, all defects can generally be sorted into one of three categories.

Design defects: Before making any product, be it a car or cleaning chemicals, companies must design the product itself. During this phase, precautions must be taken, and tests must be run to make sure the product works as intended and does not pose any danger to consumers. When these tests are skipped or the results are ignored, it means the product will be faulty. Design defects may result in class-action lawsuits, as a defective design means that all products made will be defective or have the potential to become defective over time.
Manufacturing defects: After a product is designed and approved, it must then be manufactured. That does not mean the company is done running tests. When a product is being made, quality checks should make sure that nothing was made improperly and that the material being used is of a high enough caliber. If these checks are skipped or overlooked, then products could be sent out with dangerous defects. Usually, a manufacturing defect only impacts a small percentage of the total products sold, unlike a design defect.
Marketing defects: Before a product can be released, its packaging and how it will be marketed must be worked out. The marketing team has a responsibility to make sure consumers are properly instructed on how to use the product, as well as given adequate warnings about potential dangers. If the team fails in these tasks, then consumers could use the product improperly and become hurt as a result. Similar to design defects, this may turn into a class-action lawsuit.

Don’t hesitate to call our Denver product liability lawyers at (303) 759-9945 or toll-free at (877) 433-3906.

The Dangers of Defective Products

A defective product isn’t just a waste of money—it can also endanger your life. Common injuries you may experience due to defective products include:

Broken bones
Chemical and thermal burns
Brain damage
Spinal cord injuries
Vision loss
Loss of limb
Internal bleeding
Organ damage
Deep lacerations
Illness, such as cancer

Few of us make our own furniture, cleaning products, or clothes by hand. We rely on manufacturers to make these products for us, and when they neglect their duty to make sure products are safe, the consumers pay the price. Corners are cut, and tests are skipped. Sometimes, a company knows full well that its product is dangerous but decides that a few lawsuits are worth it compared to what the product will make. These companies could not care less about your safety, which is why it is so important to make sure they are held accountable in court.

Finding the Liable Party

There are a number of parties that could be liable for a defective product, since most products switch hands a dozen times before finally being sold to the consumer. Filing your claim against the wrong party is a surefire way to make sure you do not receive the compensation that you deserve. In our experience, the most commonly liable parties include:

The design team
The manufacturer
The marketing team
The production company
The shippers/transportation company
The store or party in charge of sales

Determining who is responsible for your injuries is no easy feat. You will need evidence from an in-depth investigation. If you are in the process of recovering from injuries brought on by the defective product, then launching an investigation may be impossible. However, with the help of the right Denver defective product lawyer, you’ll not only find the liable party but also receive the compensation that you deserve.
